Description

Harper's Bazaar UK presents 'In The Swim,' an editorial fashion series captured by photographer Jesse Laitinen. The project features a sequence of vertical portraits exploring coastal aesthetics, utilizing natural light to define the textures of wet-look hair and sea-salt-dusted skin. The editorial team includes fashion stylist Grace Clarke, who selected a wardrobe of tactile, semi-sheer knits and textured swim pieces. The visual composition relies on soft daylight and expansive seaside backdrops to maintain a clean, high-end editorial sensibility. Hair styling by Konstantinos Sakkas and makeup artistry by Ninni Nummela complete the look, focusing on dewy, sun-warmed skin tones and slicked-back silhouettes.
