Hye Park Editorial in Flair Magazine
This is the second collaboration between Hye Park and photographer, Laurie Bartley for (Italian) Flair Magazine. I love the action in the photography but Hye doesn't look her best here.
Editorial: L.A. Story Photographer: Laurie Bartley Magazine: Flair Magazine, February 2007
Yeah, I agree with you. These pictures look alright, and I do like Hye, but these pictures aren't the greatest and aren't the most flattering. The only good ones are 2nd and 3rd.
Mallory, yes I just found out about the 2nd/other editorial from Flair, Nov 2006. I will post them later after I rotate through the other models. Thanks!!
As for her looking stereotypically Korean, it is how the Western market sees Asian models. Ai Tominaga has a stereotypically Japanese face and Du Juan has that China doll face.
Personally, I think Sonny Zhou is gorgeous (plus she's 6') but she's look stereotypically anything. I think Western magazines will not use her for that reason.
It's there third actually. Check out November 06..or did I not upload that yet? Either way, I'm not a fan of the blond hair.
ReplyDeleteher face is sooooo 'korean' when she runs like that. lol.

ReplyDeletePS - When did she dye her hair?
ReplyDeleteLOL.. I just noticed: When did Hye dye her hair? LOL.. but of course, Hye's name isn't pronounced like the word 'dye'.
It was a wig! ;)
ReplyDeleteShe didn't dye it!

ReplyDeleteSe looks amazing as a blond..
