Rag Report: Summer Time and the Fashion is Easy

Rag Report dives under the covers of fashion publications to rant or rave about all the glossy goodness.

This month’s Glamour makes me yearn for days filled to the brim with sunshine and long summer nights. In a spread shot by Max Farago and modeled by Marloes Horst, different summer trends fill the pages. The one thing they all have in common? Vibrant colors.

In the first photo Horst exemplifies a perfect balance between girly and sporty. Her Christopher Kane neon lace jacket and skirt are fun and lively with a touch of feminism. The A.L.C. khaki top acts as a neutralizer between the two shocking colors, and her Adidas Originals give the outfit a laid back feel. Her wide smile and playful stance express the feelings of summer.

The next photo is more laid back and casual. Here, Horst wears a bold sunset orange skirt with a simple plain white tee both by Jil Sander. She casually leans against the rail with palm trees in the background, reiterating the summer season. Her facial expression is carefree as to mimic the attitude of the season.

For this photo, the mood is once again playful but with a sense of confidence. Horst wears a yellow top paired with slightly dark yellow pants both by Max Mara. Her Soludos shoes complement the yellow and seem to bring the island feel to her outfit. She sits casually on the chair with one leg up as she sips on her beverage. Her eyes seem to invite the reader to comment on the bold one color choice.

As I look out the window and see gray skies and puddles created by the recent rain, I can’t help but daydream about the summer complete with colors that come alive and bold fashion trends that make you seen in a huge crowd.
