Mostly angular, spare clothes as minimal architecture with an erratic touch of femininity define Marique Schimmel’s summer editorial for El País Semanal’s May 2011 issue. Stylist Sebastian Kaufmann dresses Marique with ultimate simplicity until those black lace leggings remind us that Spain is not Antwerp. David Dunan captures the fashion statement.

A welcome bit of retro sophistication and restrained sensuality arise in this Pasquale Abbattista editorial ‘Boca Chica’ for Elle Germany’s May 2011 issue. Models Sophie Holmes & Lucien Thomkins are styled by Kathrin Seidel in a posh setting that still simmers. We believe these two really like each other — in a ‘Mad Men’ sort of way.
