While some ladies wear hats in the summer to keep the hot sun off of their face, more women wear them in the fall to keep stylish and warm; the Harper’s Bazaar China October 2012 editorial offers a slew of inspiration for those who fall in the latter category. Filled with dramatic millinery, the looks are made for daring, experimental women who love to look elegant at all times.
The Harper’s Bazaar China October 2012 editorial was lensed by Paris-based Chinese photographer Michelle Du Xuan. It stars IMG Paris model Sophie Srej. The Hungarian beauty was styled by Hanae Uwajima. Draped in glamorous jewels, furs, fishnets and more, the blonde looks like she time-travelled from the '20s. Hairstylist Shuko Sumida complemented the hats with glossy waves.
