For us, there was no better way to celebrate the start of the summer than with a raucous, rollicking shoot by Ellen von Unwerth at N.Y.C.’s iconic Paul’s Baby Grand. Achingly cool models, breathtaking fashion, and an explosively festive vibe were the perfect ingredients to be captured by von Unwerth’s lens.

Models partied and posed wearing the latest offerings from Versace, Dior, Louis Vuitton, CELINE by Hedi Slimane, and more, including dazzling bra tops, slip dresses and zebra-print bikinis.

We often say that the best photoshoots feel like a party, but this one really, really did. With the world (finally? possibly?) open and ready to let loose, we’re all feeling the spirit of community, creativity, and joy in our lives again. Won’t you join us in the celebration?
