Dark and romantic, the Harper’s Bazaar Hong Kong 'The Dark Romance' editorial is aptly titled. It gives the Paris landscape a Gothic feel that is often not associated with the City of Lights. Cold instead of warm, shadowed instead of glowing, the photoshoot captures the city in a whole new perspective. Granted, it is the clothing that really steals the show.
Shot by photographer Denise Boomkens, the Harper’s Bazaar Hong Kong 'The Dark Romance' editorial is set to appear in the September 2012 issue of the magazine. It stars model Iris Egbers. The platinum beauty was styled by Pedro Dias, who clad her in a contemporary baroque wardrobe. Hauntingly elegant, the glamorous looks were beautifully perfected by hairstylist Mark van Westerop and makeup artist Vera Diercxk.
