This photograph of Lara Stone in a black asymmetrical maillot was taken by Alasdair McLellan for the April 2010 issue of British Vogue. McLellan and Stone have had an ongoing working relationship since 2008 and in this image, the Dutch model’s natural beauty and athleticism are accentuated by the contours of the swimsuit and the natural light. McLellan’s first book Ultimate Clothing Company, published in 2013, documented modern British masculinity. His second book Ceremony, published in January 2016, featured his series on the ceremonial troops of the British Army. In addition to shooting for both British Vogue and Vogue Paris, McLellan works across the spectrum of the international fashion press, including i-D, Self Service and W.
