Summer
The “Perfect Summer� is full of heat, yet cool. It is bright and colorful, yet casts long shadows. This is the reason that Madison Plus and Ford +
Bohemian as well as Ford Artists chose Alyona and Sabina to create their newest
collaboration. What better way to experience a NYC hot summer day than in Central Park in these bohemian looks.
