It’s no secret that we’re big fans of Mimi Elashiry – she’s been a regular here on Life Without Andy over the past few years, and her ascension to international stardom has been nothing short of remarkable.

We’re also very fond of the photographs taken by Emanuele Ferrari – we got the man himself to host his own edition of ‘Frames’ last October, and it still stands as one of our favourites to date. You can then imagine how happy we are to see these two parties connect on a shoot for GQ Italy, which has just made its way online. These pictures star Mimi like you’ve never seen her before, in the seclusion of Mother Nature for what looks like the serene getaway that we all need. This shoot is all about summer, swimwear and unlimited vacation vibes – all things that we have to look forward to in the coming months.
