In a 10-page spread in this month's Marie Claire magazine, model Elisabet is shown at locations such as the beach at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, La Mariana Sailing Club, Polynesian Cultural Center and the Kodak Hula Show wearing designs by the likes of Dolce & Gabbana, Chanel, Christian Lacroix and Moschino Couture.

What's the price when Hawaiian prints meet couture workmanship? Dolce & Gabbana's reversible silk shirt in a hibiscus print runs $1,141. Matching shantung pants the color of jade are $384. A '60s mod-style silk skirt from Chanel is $870.

For a real day at the beach, readers might find it more practical to head to Hawaiian Island Creations or Hilo Hattie's. No one wants to get sand on their Chanel or Celine mules.
