The Harper’s Bazaar Singapore 'Top of Pop' editorial is inspired by pop art. In fact, it takes place in an art gallery. The dark and edgy imagery counterbalances the bright colorful artworks on the wall perfectly, adding another dimension to often bright white rooms of such spaces. The clothes add another dimension, a stylish one.
Shot by photographer GT Gan, the Harper’s Bazaar Singapore 'Top of Pop' editorial is the August 2012 cover story for the magazine. It stars Ave model Joss, who was styled by associate fashion editor Windy Aulia. Aulia played with fall’s feminine menswear-inspired pieces from the likes of labels Céline, Versace, Burberry Prorsrum, Ralph Lauren, Dolce & Gabbana, Dior, Fendi and Chanel.
