Based in Braunschweig, Germany, international fashion brand New Yorker has released a new swimwear collection from their Censored brand. Photographed on the Balearic island of Mallocra (Majorca), the collection takes its inspiration from the “white sandy beaches, crystal clear water, romantic fincas, picturesque alleys, colorful flowers, olive trees, dizzying serpentine roads, sangria, empanadas” of Mallorca.

“The motto for a beach day at one of the numerous Playas is: Less is more! This also applies to our sophisticated swimsuit in beautiful emerald green. Depending on the perspective, the generous, sexy cutouts make it look like a bikini. Definitely an eye-catcher and a must for every sun worshiper! Golden details provide additional glamour. So you can be sure of making a big entrance even in the smallest bay.”

For their June 2023 issue, Vogue Czechoslovakia dedicated the month of June to goodwill philanthropic initiatives, and one of the most important issues of our time, mental health. Luna Bijl, model and ambassador for Play Mental Foundation, a foundation committed to improving mental health for teens and young adults, talks about her struggles with mental health and the shame and apprehension people still have around the issue.

Luna Bijl’s cover story was photographed on an Italian farm in the province of Alessandria. Luna is also wearing brands such as Etro, New Balance, Loewe, Chanel, Federico Cina, and Chloe.

“I struggled with anxiety, panic attacks and mental health issues in general and never found the courage to talk to anyone about it or ask for help. But as soon as I opened up to others in this direction, I realized that I’m not alone and that many other people struggle with mental health problems too.”
