EARLIER THIS YEAR, WE TOOK OUR LATEST WARM-WEATHER PIECES—THINK BOLD PRINTS, BREEZY SHAPES, GREAT DENIM—TO THE BEACHES OF RIO DE JANEIRO. AND YES, THE PHOTO SHOOT REALLY WAS AS FUN AS IT LOOKS.

Our prop stylist Pedro found colorful indigenous plants at a flower market while those giant palm leaves actually came from his own yard (!). Once the shoot wrapped, our local crew took bouquets home to enjoy.

Our favorite part of traveling? The food! We took photos at Ipanema Beach and couldn’t resist the popsicles, tropical fruit or fresh coconuts (complete with “I ♥ RIO” paper straws) that vendors were selling.
Though temps were warm, the sun was basically playing hide-and-seek and, well, mostly hiding. Luckily we worked with the best team who brought energy and creativity, rain or shine.
