The South China Morning Post Style editorial titled Dark Desires plays with lighting in breakout ways. Photographer Phoebe Wong chose to capture model Timea Pampuk with the use of orange, blue and yellow-hued tones, all of which came across as patterned in front of diverse backdrops.
Stylist Chris Chow ensured that in spite of the captivating colors, attention was still drawn towards striking apparel. This came of Chow's choice of knee-high leather boots, bustiers and cropped color blocked jean jackets.
Focus on apparel was again seen in Chow's selection of striking outerwear. Patchy black and white fur coats and gold-lined army jackets drove this feature home, merging undergarments with items best suited to everyday wear.
