With haphazard proportions and an inclination for exploration, the editorial toys with the idea of the imagined.

Packed with the diversity of culture and the need to progress, the girl shows the growth of a whimsical child seeking to piece new ideas for creation, all the while rocking incredibly makeup by Zann Toh and hair by Mark Cheng.
