Model Michaela Kocianova is a modern version of the classic poolside pin-up for this Vogue Italia June 2011 editorial. She's photographed by Greg Kadel in an attractive array of all-white swimwear and chunky, oversized accessories curated by stylist Elizabeth Sulcer.
Hair stylist Peter Grey maintained a retro look with bouncy waves and plenty of body, while makeup artist Mariel Barrera similarly kept things minimalist, giving Kocianova a berry lip stain and a touch of eyeshadow and eyeliner.
Michaela Kocianova exudes glamour in this Vogue Italia June 2011 swim editorial. Her strong yet sensual poses draw the reader in to her luxurious, sun-drenched world nicely. Although this pictorial features thoroughly modern fashion, I could see it taking place during the 60s or 70s.
