When a resort-focus fashion story opens with model Devyn Garcia styled by Verity Parker in classic, white swimsuits from sustainable brand Jade Swim and queen of rich understatement Loro Piana, we know that a hot Pucci print is probably not waiting in our digital scroll.

Here we are — returning to Reid’s Palace [IG], a Belmond Hotel in Madeira, one week after sharing ancient water stories inspired by a Vogue Thailand wellness story also shot at Reid’s Palace.

Today, photographer Ina Levy [IG], who is also editor-in-chief of Vogue Poland, captures Devyn Garcia in classic swimwear and coverups that will “suit everyone”, writes The Sunday Times Style [IG] section.

The Times positions the location challenge with “move over Ibiza: the spiritual set have found a (surprising) new home”. Maybe, but we say that — pending further investigation — their DNA is quite different.

Garcia takes the plunge for those of us watching the total eclipse from dry land and no swimming pool, here in America on April 8, 2024. For the moment, we can only live vicariously, but — spring break is in full swing and summer is coming. Enjoy.
