Swedish fashion brand Nelly launches a new spring-summer 2016 dress line perfect for the beach. Called the ‘Ophelia’ collection, the range features dreamy designs made for the sand and beyond. The collection was inspired by John Everett Millais’ Ophelia painting featuring an ethereal water scene.

The official campaign images star models Joanna Halpin and Lorena Rae photographed on location in the Maldives. Photographer Caitlin Miers captured the beauties against the clear blue sky backdrop and green ocean with styling by Sebastian Hammarberg. From short mini dresses to billowing maxi styles, these dresses are ideal for summer.
