OMG, I am soooo frigging in love with this editorial. It's probably one of the best studio work I've seen in Vogue China.
Liu Wen just blew this out of the water. The styling and lighting are superb.
Note to Other Magazines: You DO NOT have to use crazy hair AND kooky makeup on Asian models. Pick one and leave the rest alone.
Note to Those Who Love Clothes: Click on the photos to appreciate the amazing details in the fabric and construction of the clothes. Special thanks to Kazaf @ tFs for the HQ scans. I've been salivating over amazing details on the Lanvin, Prada and Dior dresses.

ReplyDeletewow, they slicked her up real good..
ReplyDeletemagnifique :)
ReplyDeleteIMPECCABLE! Kai Z Feng is great!
ReplyDeletealso asianmodelsblogger i would like to see more of your input and opinions.
Obviously inspired by Prada AW09. I love Liu Wen here...obviously she is more confident now so it comes out really good.
ReplyDeleteI always find Liu Wen a little bland from neck up but I love her body proportion -- super long legs and short torso. But she really worked the camera in this editorial.
ReplyDeleteDu Juan, on the other hand, has a beautiful face but her torso is too long. She's 5'10" but looks shorter.
I think people have discovered that Liu's is not the next Du Juan thus have stopped trying to shape her to be one. Du's all about regal elegance and beauty which Liu cant be, Liu Wen on the other hand has a steamy yet tough sensuality that I dont think Du has. Du is the queen, while Liu Wen is the sexy warrior woman. I think the agency realized that as well, and Liu's been getting a lot of better photoshoot lately as it is geared correctly towards her special attributes.
ReplyDeleteI love the toughness she brought into these outfits, it gives them an extra edge.
