Decadent Ultraviolet Wardrobes

The Harper’s Bazaar Mexico ‘El Reino del Purpura’

— September 10, 2012 — Fashion
For the September 2012 issue, the Harper’s Bazaar Mexico ‘El Reino del Purpura’ editorial showcases a sleek bob.

Besides its stunning beauty story that displays the model sporting a symmetrical helmet-like bob, this fashion story has a focal point on the shade purple. With highly geometric prints and super structured silhouettes, this spread showcases pieces from the Fall/Winter 2012 season that come alive in violets and dark purples.

The shade is known to exude decadence and is usually a sign of nobility. This take by Harper’s Bazaar was captured by photographer Kevin Sinclair. Baroque qualities are not limited to the color gold and El Reino del Purpura reigns supreme in its interpretation of exuberance. With its declarion that “elegance has a new tone,” this display of a stunning editorial is chic.
