palm trees and sparkling seas.

"The sea is calm, clear, elongated on the sand bodies are studded with shining droplets. A fantasy? No. It's summer."

We love a fierce summer fashion spread, and Vogue Paris, being Vogue Paris, never disappoints. For the coveted June/July issue, supermodel Natasha Poly graces the cover as a sizzling bombshell, taking an afternoon dip in a sparkling azure pool surrounded by the lush palm trees of a picturesque luxury hotel, no doubt in a tropical paradise like Monaco or St.Tropez. In the feature editorial "L'Extase", editor-in-chief Emmanuelle Alt pairs Natasha with up-and-coming face Anna Ewers, smoldering in the sun whilst clad in the finest summer swimwear in the boldest shades of red black and white. Captured by the duo of fashion photography Inez & Vinoodh, this editorial whisks us away to a luxurious summer vacation that only dreams {and Vogue fashion spreads} are made of : seasprayed bodies basking in the glistening warm sun donning only the chic-est poolwear from the likes of Versace, Emilio Pucci, Céline, Saint Laurent and Bottega Veneta, posing against clear blue skies and an endless summer horizon, perfectly contrasting against the deep crimsons and crisp whites. From scarlet bikinis to glittery killer pumps, helmets to tailored suits, take notes from this editorial for your holiday must-haves. And since it's a sun-drenched fantasy, swimming in heels are just some of the dream-come-true things that make this editorial truly fascinating.

You can't deny that these underwater shots are absolutely gorgeous, and kudos to Mlle Alt because this June/July cover has been the best summer cover I've seen in a long time, can't wait to get my hands on it.
