Bolofo fondly remembers the exceptional creative freedom she gave him and other photographers at the magazine--Sozzani provided the clothes, they did the rest. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd so it was with \u003ci\u003eSay Cheese\u003c\/i\u003e: Bolofo was given a wardrobe of female swimwear, and with the help of his regular stylist Nicoletta Santoro, he shunned professional models, instead enlisting a vibrant squad of real synchronized swimmers, California's Riverside Aquettes.
