Clashing Couture Captures

The Hugues Laurent for Modern Weekly China is Playfully Transformative

The editorial by Hugues Laurent for Modern Weekly China is filled with clashing couture looks that will keep readers on their toes. From a sweetly innocent, bubblegum-chewing socialite to a smoking Gothic glam girl, model Dorothea Barth Jorgensen taps into very different personas for the playful photoshoot. Nevertheless, the underlying commonality is the high fashion used throughout the editorial.

Styled by Felipe Mendes, the Swedish beauty is clad in a mix of sophisticated and rock 'n' roll-inspired pieces from the likes of Givenchy, Valentino and Chanel Haute Couture. A transformative editorial by Hugues Laurent for Modern Weekly China to say the very least, it is set to appear in the latest issue of the magazine. Without the help of hairstylist Lok Lau and makeup artist Hugo Villard, it wouldn't have been executed as well.
