This feature shot on location at Descanso Beach Club in Catalina Island
Lydia Hearst is represented by Wilhelmina
Fashion Assistants: Arisa Seki and Bryant Martin

It is one o'clock in the afternoon on the day of the shoot and the photographer is waiting for the hair & makeup team to deliver Lydia to the set. Crewmembers are sitting around picking at fruit bowls and sandwiches while dresses are being steamed. When she arrives, the crew encounters issues with the amount of people at the beach and a change of venue is deemed necessary. Lydia maintains a cheerful and relaxed attitude and twitters via her phone. She spends the next three hours working non-stop, which brings the seasoned crew to notice one last detail — though she is a world-famous supermodel, a budding actress and a high-profile heiress, subject to the rumor mill and the paparazzi, Lydia remains a remarkable young woman who takes it all in stride.
