Model Ming Xi stars in a creepy Hitchcock-inspired editorial for the Vogue China March 2012 issue. 'Hitchcock Beauty' pictures Ming in a variety of looks that recall some of Hitchcock's women most famous style choices, like the silk scarf worn in the spirit of Grace Kelly, a beige trench coat and an eerie black cat.
The editorial was shot for the March 2012 issue by photographer Terry Gates and styled by fashion editor Yi Guo, and showcases '50s femme fatale looks with a serious film noir feel, helped by the damp, dimly-lit and foggy scene of the shoot. The refined looks that Ming Xi wears are some of spring's most refined and glamorous dresses and accessories.
The Vogue China March 2012 cover features supermodels Natasha Poly and Isabeli Fontana in pretty pastel Prada, which was shot by the legendary Inez and Vinoodh.
