Scandinavia on the Thames

Creative Director Lone Loth, left, makes final adjustments to model Julija Nydal's outfit Wednesday as crew member Ole Svendborg, right, holds a shade during a fashion photography session of on the banks on the Thames River under the Gold Star Memorial Bridge in New London. The crew, including Danish fashion photographer Gunnar Mernld, is in the region for several days, according to producer Francois Boulaire of Stillmax Media. Boulaire says they chose the southeastern Connecticut locations because they have a "nordic" feel and the weather this time of year in the area is good enough to allow for extended outdoor photography. The fall and summer fashions being photographed are from the Danish company Bon' a Parte.
