InStyle Germany Hot Summer 2025

About

This fashion editorial image for InStyle Germany's Hot Summer project features model Kim Riekenberg posing outdoors against a sunlit wall. She wears a black textured short-sleeve swimsuit paired with dark sunglasses and carries a fringed black bag. Natural sunlight casts sharp tree-branch shadow patterns across the warm-toned background surface. The composition captures a sun-drenched aesthetic with rich contrasts and warm color grading. Photography by Max Abadian, with styling by Lynn Schmidt, hair by Matthew Collins, makeup by Leslie Ann Thomson, and manicures by Sarah Chue.
