Fashion story – Pavillion, shot by Helen McArdle, styled by Steph Wilson, art direction by Fleur Harding

PHOTOGRAPHER HELEN McArdle expertly captures the spirit of the British seaside with her swimwear shoot, Pavillion. Art director Fleur Harding selected the stunning modern architecture of the De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill, East Sussex, as the backdrop to the shoot, with McArdle ingeniously highlighting the timeless elegance of the work of designers like Stella McCartney and Linda Farrow. In totality, the shoot presents a pure celebration of the summer season along the coastline of the UK.
