Whether looking shyly away from the lens or directly into it with a promise of love in her eyes, she exudes a femininity that can only be captured in such raw moments.

Shot entirely in black and white by photographer Wee Khim, the Prestige Singapore January 2014 cover shoot exclusively pieces from the Calvin Klein Collection spring 2014 line. The looks were styled by Johnny Khoo, with hair Dexter Ng and makeup by Shaun Lee.
