Summer Training
24 January 2019
Harley Gacke looks ready to conquer the day in Summer Training, her copper-red hair swept up into a sleek topknot that shows off the strong line of her jaw and the graceful length of her neck. She stands between billowing sheer curtains on a sun-flooded terrace, palms and bright pink bougainvillea framing her like a tropical stage, wearing a monochrome zebra-stripe sports bra with a USA Pro band and geometric-print leggings that wrap her athletic legs in bold black and silver. Hands on her hips, shoulders squared, she stares down the lens with smoky, confident eyes, the warm light picking out the definition of her toned stomach and the delicate pendant resting at her throat. She turns, showing off the way the patterned fabric clings to the round curve of her backside, the strappy back of the bra revealing smooth, tanned skin that glows against the airy white drapes.
The activewear gives way to bare skin as the Mediterranean sun climbs higher. Harley peels the bra over her head to reveal perky, natural breasts, the warm golden light washing across her collarbones and the flat plane of her stomach. The leggings follow, leaving her in nothing but a thin black thong and her laced-up trainers as she bends forward with a coy smile, her toned back arched, the gorgeous sweep from her narrow waist to her full, shapely hips catching every ray of light. The curtains drift around her in the breeze, the flowers blaze behind her, and Harley looks like she could run a mile or break a heart without breaking a sweat. Summer Training captures a woman completely in her element: strong, sensual, and impossibly striking.
