Christina Carey channels the surreal, eccentric Italian fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli for an opulent editorial in Harper's Bazaar Singapore May 2011, wearing vibrant styles from Prada, Louis Vuitton and Viktor & Rolf. Simon Upton is the photographer behind the shoot, with styling assistance from Kenneth Goh, hairstyling by Michael Brennan and makeup by Max May.
In the spring editorial, Christina Carey luxuriates on the grounds of an opulent mansion. My favorite look is the first one, in which Carey rocks a jewel-toned halter dress with bright yellow eyeshadow, armfuls of gold cuffs and a gigantic gold flower in her hair. In another stellar image, a woven orange hat hangs at Carey's back, which sets off a cream-colored embellished dress just so.
