One of our favorite models — and a rising film director — Lili Sumner is in Paris this week. The LA based photographer Alexandra Cabral captured her in her hotel room, floating between jet-lag and high fashion, moving with that sexy, playful confidence that has made her an icon of her generation. Inside, she slips into the new Nike Shox Z, a super-colorful reinterpretation of the classic Shox spirit: all-day comfort fused with a sharp, sculpted silhouette, reduced to a minimalist line. A design both nostalgic and futuristic — like a fast-forward from the original Shox running shoes.
Lili never needs to pretend to be sporty or stylish, or both at the same time; she is real fun — she simply is. Whether she’s in Paris or back in New Zealand, her homeland; whether she’s running through wild landscapes or dancing until late at night; reading, working, or drifting into dreams — she is always creating a new look, a new version of herself.
We love her!
