Some women want to embrace the playful nature of the beach in their wardrobe, others want to go down a more sexy path; the L’Express Style May 2014 editorial happens to embrace a sophisticated version of the latter for women looking to be seductive in a tasteful manner. Although still showing a lot of skin, naturally, the designs are covered up chicly with mesh shirts, fishnet bodysuits and luxury designer towels.
The L’Express Style May 2014 editorial was shot by photographer Alique. It stars model Samantha Gradoville. The face of Just Cavalli showcases a range of sensual designs from such labels as Louis Vuitton, Eres and Emporio Armani. The beach-appropriate looks were styled by Yann Weber with dramatic eyes by makeup artist Steven Canavan and windswept tresses by hair stylist Alessandro Rebecchi.
