Melbourne model Abbey Lee Kershaw is gracing the cover of the March issue of [Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vogue-singapore-magazine) Australia. Inside you will find a sweet, petite and fully clothed Abbey Lee Kershaw sporting some of the finest [scuba wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangls-mirage-drop) from Karl Lagerfeld's S/S 2010 collection.

Abbey Lee Kershaw looks really hot in this sultry [scuba fashion editorial](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-swim-collection), and it might not be due to the fact that it was shot in Bondi Beach just outside of Sydney, Australia. Thank you, Vogue Australia.

**Implications** - It's also very refreshing to see a photo shoot that involves a young, hot model that is fully clothed! This way, the spread boasts sensuality without being overtly sexual, which is a great tactic to attract a wider audience.
