What do you get when you cross the brothers Thornley (of U.S. Royalty - and self-styled, no less) with four beautiful girls and a whole lot of feathers and tulle? Our unapolagetically large "Summer of Love" fashion spread, of course. Spring's sheer trend combines magically with all things bohemian; bursts of print and leather or metal accessories will keep even the floatiest of outfits firmly on the ground. We gleaned inspiration everywhere from Kime Buzzelli's The Moldy Doily to Citizen's Band and the Manson girls, so please! Get excited for summer frolicking, and enjoy:

God loves a cheerful giver.
US Royalty deserves a grammy for rock style alone.
The guys in US Royalty actually look like a band. I wish I could rock a huge beard like that.
this looks like a swedish midsummer
= wowed
Nice work as always from all involved. I am split between Alexandra looking up with that great headpiece or the ring around the rosey shot. Killer.
"Dee Wong" (snicker) I've got de Wang.
Holy fuck I'm juvenile.

that asian chick is so hot.
That band is fucking good.
I wanna know the secret.
where do you get such wonderful headpieces?
markers+paper= magic head feathers
headpieces = posterboard, marker, and leather from the craft store, and the other ones are headbands, roses, and ribbons!
Great job by all involved. I had seen these earlier on Hatnim's blog & wondered what was up.
where is the ring Frodo?
!! much fun (as always) working with amazing stylist, Morgan, and mood projector, Svetlana !! hugs & kisses to all the beauties who bared the drizzle. xoxo.
i didn't ask how they were made
or what they were made of
that's previous obvious
i like the person who does them and the style
i'm sure if i tried to make them, they wouldn't come out that well
i would sure like to see a d.i.y. of the headpieces, especially the feathered one. like with a pattern of the feathers. that would be excellent.
my sentiments exactly
I have some good looking friends...OW!
love, love
damn
Jian I can't believe you found that shit. Is my midrift that noticable ha. Anyway I heard rumors about this shoot for awhile but the shots turned out amazing, hands down.
this band is awesome live!
oh i adore this!!
