Summertime Staples with Harper's Bazaar US

Tumblr may have fallen to the wayside with the emergence of Instagram and Snapchat, but it still has its uses. I came across this beautiful photo-shoot on the said photo sharing site and was immediately seduced by the colours and memories of summer (we don't have a real summer in England). Shot by Mariano Vivanco for the May 2017 issue of Harper's Bazaar US, the shoot featuring Joan Smalls is full of life, stunning imagery and a picture postcard feel about it. In fact, Smalls looks like she's just jumped straight into an Slim Aarons photograph such is the authentic vintage, glamour look about the images. Palm Beach serves as the sunny backdrop for this luxury fashion editorial, while stylist Jamie Kay Waxman uses a mix of printed swimwear, summer dresses, palazzo pants and 1960s accessories to bring the vivacious mood to life. Of course, the super cute poodle is a bonus and I can imagine a lot of fun to have on set. They say never work with animals or children and this shoot has both with beautiful results.

See the full shoot below in all its techni-colour glory.and a comparison to one of my favourite Slim Aarons photographs.
