Choosing to indulge in the laid-back "surf culture," Ping donned a glittery yellow bikini by Montce. Keeping the look luxurious yet minimalistic, Ping accessorized the swimsuit with gold jewelry by adding earrings from Jennifer Meyer and bracelets by Eklexic Jewelry.

In addition to her work with SI Swimsuit, Pring walked in Jean-Paul Gaultier’s Paris Fashion Week show in 2011, the same year she landed in the pages of Vogue Italia. Outside of her work in the fashion industry, Pring uses her platform to encourage strength, power and vulnerability.
