The Singles Korea Valley of Flowers editorial has been placed within the March 2013 edition of the magazine. Present in the production was model Ji Hyun Jeong who stood dramatically before fans, wooden furniture pieces and minimalist interior spaces.
A series of Asian motifs came through this Singles Korea production. Stylist Jeong Hee brought these orientalist elements to life via chunky wedge sandals, flowing floral patterns, flare pants and a series of wrap apparel.
These ensembles were taken in and in turn relayed to readers of the publication by way of photographer Mokena Jung. Jung remained true to its minimalist undertones with white saturated lighting, focusing on the fashion featured and the barren backdrop only.
