Circus Warrior Fashion

This Wang Xiao Lovecat Editorial is Fierce & Fantastical

The lovely Wang Xiao stars in this black and white photo shoot by Damon Baker for the magazine Lovecat.

Appearing in the publication's #2 issue, this editorial showcases Wang Xiao looking both fierce and fantastical as she dons a series of interesting styles that make her look like a high-fashion circus performer. In one shot, she is shown wearing a gauzy, star-printed gown; in another, she wears seriously geometric leggings (so sharp that they just might cut you if you dare to touch them) and a pair of torturous-looking platform heels that mimic the look of ballet pointe shoes.

This shoot featuring Wang Xiao was styled by Brett Bailey, with makeup by Thorsten Wiess and Kayla Michele. The set design was the work of Luke Abby.
