When it comes to summer 2013 swimwear you would be hard-pressed to find a shoot that is truer to the looks of summer sweat, sand, sun and saltiness than this ‘On the Rocks’ shoot photographed by Gary Golembiewski and stylized by Lizzie Macpherson.

It wouldn’t be unfair to sweep fashion-forward swimwear with a generalization of “overworked”, would it? A lot of the time when ‘fashion’ and ‘swimwear’ are used in conjunction, the result is often something jewelled, dazzled and anything but ‘swimable’. Even AAA’s would risk mortifying modesty slips with a slight shuffle on their loungers in those barely-there bathers — let alone the rest of us in…

Update: Behati Prinsloo’s full campaign for Seafolly has been released. View the full set of images at the gallery.

I’ve never bought a Seafolly bikini that hasn’t been completely flattering. Their pieces usually sit in the very Australian space between ultra-simple and ultra-glamorous; being not too much of either, they’re understated yet ultimately chic. And it’s not all swimsuits; Seafolly also turn out beachwear and accessories that are similarly flattering be they for the beach, pool, or for pretty much any other Summer activity…

Are you ready to be stung by that little needle we call jealousy? Going behind the scenes of Seafolly‘s latest swimwear campaign means gorgeous models (Jess Hart and Samantha Harris) and gorgeous beaches; not to mention that these girls make it all look so effortless. It’s not all just pretty scenery though – the video also gives some insights into the brand itself, the people…

Ah the life of a model. Yeah we know, there’s lots of hard work and hectic times and lord knows you can’t just go and guiltlessly enjoy a big plate of pasta like the rest of us can.
