Model Heather Marks is on a glamorous getaway in the Marie Claire Italia 'Hotel California' editorial. Prim and proper in retro-inspired outfits, she hits the road, heading to a desert hotel in the Golden State. Despite the obvious heat, the Canadian beauty keeps up her sophisticated appearance in elegant ensembles, except for the occasional bikini she lounges in by the outdoor pool.
The Marie Claire Italia Hotel California editorial was shot by photographer Paul Schmidt for the magazine's May 2012 issue. Marks was styled in a wardrobe of 60s-inspired pastels by fashion editor Raffaella Campeggi. Pulling pieces from the racks of labels such as Rochas, Fendi and Dior, Campeggi's looks were perfected with soft curls by hairstylist Sebastien le Corroller and bronzed skin by makeup artist Marie Lanne.
