There's nothing better than the sensual beauty of a woman lying under the sun, "day-dreaming" of heavenly thoughts. This model's repose, while running fingers through her platinum blonde hair, makes this a timeless image.
Most of the attire illustrated in Alberto's designs were pure creations of his rich imagination. The swimsuit we see here exemplifies his progressively styled fashions.
Modeled by the lovely Jeanne Dean.
