Poolside Luxury
Models Marique Schimmel and Garrett Neff exude effortless glamour in this sun-soaked editorial for Harper’s Bazaar Germany June/July 2015. The photoshoot captures a sense of leisure and sophistication, placing the models in luxurious poolside settings that highlight both fashion and lifestyle. Every shot conveys the ease of high-end summer living while keeping the focus squarely on the clothes, accessories, and the natural charisma of the models.
Styling and Wardrobe
Fashion editor Kai Magrander curates a selection of polished summer looks that blend timeless elegance with contemporary flair. Light fabrics, tailored swimwear, and relaxed layering create outfits that feel both aspirational and attainable. The color palette leans toward crisp whites, soft neutrals, and subtle pops of summer hues, emphasizing brightness, reflection, and movement in the outdoor setting. Accessories are used sparingly to enhance the sophistication of the ensembles without overshadowing the overall composition.
Hair and Beauty
Roberto Di Cuia’s hair styling captures a casual, post-swim look, giving both Marique and Garrett a natural, unforced charm. Soft waves and controlled textures provide contrast against the sharp tailoring and structured pieces, creating visual balance. Makeup by Jo Barker emphasizes fresh, glowing skin, understated eyes, and sun-kissed highlights, complementing the sunny poolside environment and reinforcing a summery, effortless aesthetic.
Mood and Photography
Photographer Nagi Sakai frames each image with precision and sensitivity to light. Reflections on water, soft shadows, and angles that highlight movement are all used to create a dynamic yet polished set of images. The result is a combination of intimacy and editorial sophistication, as if the viewer is invited into a private, luxurious moment while still appreciating the fashion.
Why It Stands Out
This editorial succeeds because it balances lifestyle with high fashion. Marique Schimmel and Garrett Neff embody relaxed confidence, the clothing and styling reflect aspirational summer elegance, and Nagi Sakai’s photography ties everything together seamlessly. It is a series that feels lively, luxurious, and undeniably stylish.
