"Black and white is the timeless fashion colour combo, offering classic elegance and, this season, a totally on-trend look. Monochrome colour blocking, prints and patterns are big news on the high street for summer 2014, and nowhere is this more in evidence than swimwear."

In the latest photo shoot on www.fashion-bust.com, Caught in a Trap, some of the best seasonal swimwear pieces in black and white have been picked and brought all together by stylist Emma Lightbown and photographer James Lightbown.

Sumarie, specialized in monochrome and colour block palettes, was featured with Jane Bikini Top and Bilinda Bottoms: two of the best sellers of Classic Collection!

Corinne Day: May The Circle Remain Unbroken

Corinne Day is a British photographer whose influence on the style and perception of photography in the early 1990s has been immense. As a self taught photographer, Day brought a more hard edged documentary look to fashion image making, in which she often included biographical elements.

Day is known for forming long and close relationships with many of her sitters (most famously Kate Moss), which have resulted in candid and intimate portraits. The most notable of these being the photographs of Moss in the 3rd Summer of Love editorial for the FACE magazine in 1990. Days approach as illustrated within the lifestyle and fashion magazines of the 1990s, came to be known as grunge and grew into an international style.

In 1993 Day photographed Kate Moss in her own flat for British Vogue. In the context of a fashion magazine the images appear to have a documentary feel about them and when published caused a certain frisson of discomfort.

Corinne was diagnosed with a slow growing, grade 2 brain tumour called an Oligo Astrocytoma in November 1996 at the Bellevue hospital in New York, after which Corinne returned to London for brain surgery at the Whitechapel hospital in December 1996. The surgeon and oncologist then gave Corinne a prognosis of 8 years left to live. Corinne was not expected to live past 2004. However Corinne outlived this prognosis by over 6 years, passing away in 2010 instead of 2004.
