The Marie Claire Spain 'Azul Indico' editorial foregoes typical colorful and print-happy swimwear for ones that are much more dark and somber. Thankfully, this subdued palette doesn't detract for the sexy element of each swimsuit. In fact, it increases it by adding a mysterious quality.
Lensed by photographer Seiji Fujimori, the Marie Claire Spain Azul Indico editorial appears in the magazine's May 2012 issue. Shot on location, the clear turquoise waters, slate skies, green foliage and beige sands is all the color this photoshoot requires. Nevertheless, there is the occasional red, maroon and blue thrown into the predominately black mix when it comes to the swimwear.
The Marie Claire Spain Azul Indico editorial stars model Leah de Wavrin. She was styled by Florence Reveillaud in pieces from Emilio Pucci, Fendi, Valentino and Prada.
