Yuka Mannami Shows the Fashionable Side of Las Vegas in Our Fall 2018 Photoshoot
When the FASHION team travelled to Las Vegas, they weren’t interested in hanging with high rollers, playing roulette or sipping caipirinhas. Instead, they headed to The Strip at 2 a.m. to shoot our model, Yuka Mannami. The heat from the 45ºC day still hung heavy in the air, but the misty breeze from the Bellagio’s famous fountain kept everyone chill.
The other highlight? Being able to pick the music that played while they photographed Yuka in front of the dancing waters. Their request? “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds.” Obvs. Earlier in the day, when they were shooting at the Las Vegas Springs Preserve conservation area, Yuka bought a T-shirt that our fashion editor, Eliza Grossman, was so taken with, she had Yuka wear it for one shot. Talk about a hi-lo fashion mo.
