Life’s a beach, or at least it should be for the upcoming summer season, which officially starts this weekend. Aside from chic sunglasses, sun hats, and sandals, the one thing that’s essential to beach style is a sense of fun. Supermodel Shalom Harlow and her inflatable kissing partner embodied that spirit in this image shot by Ellen von Unwerth in Vogue in July 1993. Paired with a low-slung pair of flared pants and a bikini, the idea of a playful beach accessory is well worth embracing right now.
