Posh Murder Mystery Editorials

The W Korea Beautiful Monster Photoshoot is Enigmatic

— March 14, 2013 — Pop Culture
The W Korea Beautiful Monster editorial reveals a chic murder mystery-esque production to readers of the magazine's March 2013 issue. Photographer Hong Jang Hyu delivered this production to the publication alongside model Mia Wasikowska.

Wasikowska got at the mysterious nature of Beautiful Monster with her secretive stares and deeply concerned looks. When cast in the muted blue lighting of Hyun, it appeared as if the subjects were involved in a hot chase.

Stylist Ryan Hastings dressed Wasikowska in chic silk dresses, open back pieces and sleek albeit chunky jewelry. These looks were added to with a two-toned black and white color scheme, furthering the dark and somewhat deceptive nature of W Korea's Beautiful Monster photoshoot.
