The world of magazines is a bit topsy-turvy. We work on summer tanning stories in February, shivering under our electric blankets, and we compile our Christmas Gift Guide in the height of summer.
In fact, this year’s summer beauty photoshoot, where we created all of our content for the next few months of the magazine, was during a particularly cold April. The crew rolled up at 6 am in jumpers and coats, and the models were strutting around in bikinis, dipping their toes into icy outdoor pools. We wanted to create the illusion of golden, gleaming skin - skin that had been (safely) sunning itself on The Med for weeks.
