The September L'Officiel China by Michelle Du Xuan is a polychromatic series featuring models Pauline Van Der Cruysse at Elite Paris and Zhu Lin at IMG Paris. Michelle Du Xuan has captured the duo in a decaying room from a historic home that gives the series an antique and baroque feel.
The stylist Hanae Uwajima has adorned the models in eccentric couture pieces from Elie Saab, Dior, Chanel, Valentino, Versace to Alexis Mabille. These designs resemble a colorful version of the film Sweeney Todd where the models appear to be in a mythical time traveling world full of vibrant hues, overdramatic hairstyles and excessive amounts of makeup.
Michelle Du Xuan has created her hauntingly beautiful fantasy world for the September issue of L'Officiel China that is chic, sophisticated and haute.
