Although tall and statuesque like the pillars in the background, model Arlenis Sosa doesn't share any other similarities to these ancient structures in the Harper’s Bazaar Mexico May 2012 editorial. Instead of donning pieces in a neutral palette, her ladylike wardrobe is filled with bold prints and vibrant colors. The jewel tone greens, reds, oranges and more stand out beautifully against the stony backdrop and blue skies.
The Harper’s Bazaar Mexico May 2012 editorial was shot by New York-based Guyanese photographer Kevin Sinclair. The Dominican beauty was styled by Andrew Holden eye-popping spring outfits. The pieces were pulled from the racks of such labels as Roberto Cavalli, Mary Katrantzou, Givenchy and more. The looks were completed with make up by Nam Vo and hair by Dennis Fei.
