Photographer Vicky Chambers shot models Kya and Freeyah from J'adore Models Manchester for the latest lookbook by British label 'Olive and Frank.'
Judging by the photographs, it's easy to believe that the brand follows an ethos of "peace, love and happiness." The girls look carefree and spirited, whether they're doing cartwheels on the beach, challenging each other to a round of arcade games or enjoying a post-lunch cigarette on a beautiful day.
The clothing is comfortable enough to facilitate adventure, yet quirky enough to express their distinct personalities. Think baggy t-shirts, acid-wash denim, high-waisted pants and floral snapbacks, all imbued with a fun-loving retro flair that's fiercely youthful. Overall, the Olive and Frank lookbook reads like a love letter to summer.
