Victoria's Secret Swim Dreamy Seaside Bikini Legs Print Ad 2009 2000s (2pgs)

Victoria's Secret wants its 2009 swim collection to feel like drifting in a postcard, so this two-page ad stretches a model in a taupe bikini across shallow, glassy water under big cumulus clouds. Bare skin, bare midriff and long bare legs stretch from one page to the other. The airy, minimal styling reflects the aspirational, resort-fantasy approach of 2000s swimwear marketing. Swimwear collectors will enjoy the calm.
