The Wildfox Summer 2014 lookbook is utterly dreamy. It embraces a traditional summer activity, picnicking, and takes it to the next level with feminine fashion and an equally stylish spread of food. Titled 'Royal Romance,' it is "a dreamy celebration of love, happiness and other complications." The whimsical images are embellished with charming quotes from the likes of Robert Frost, Emily Dickinson and Charlotte Gray.
Shot by Mark Hunter of Bernstein & Andriulli, the Wildfox Summer 2014 lookbook stars models Queeny Van der Zande, Camilla Christensen and Dacoda, who plays their little sister. Hunter reveals, "I’m usually told, ‘Here’s an idea of what we’d like to get,’ and I’m left to interpret it. I always pay attention to both the clothes and the energy to give the viewer the best experience possible, and the shoots are so over-the-top, fun, and girly that…it makes me want to be a girl, too."
