Melyssa Ford penned a heartfelt letter to her late mother for our Mother’s Day issue starring style architect June Ambrose as our May cover star. Along with the feature, we captured Ford in a stunning editorial spread shot by Joshua Kissi.
In the spread, Melyssa wears a sweeping pink gown by Monsoori with a plunging neckline and flowy Dolce & Gabbana pleated dress that highlights her toned legs.
