Asian fashion photographer Chen Man has pulled off an incredible series in the May 2012 Harper's Bazaar China edition. Featuring the critically acclaimed Victoria Beckham, Man has captured the celebrity among highlighter-red tresses and cat-like eye make-up. Most notably however is the cover's focus upon Beckham's cranium, and all that adorns it.
The Beckham for Harper's Bazaar China piece is discernibly futuristic. The metallic eye shadow displayed evokes images of a robotic era, and her coy gaze only serves to reinforce the theme. What also remains consistent throughout the photos are various ornate headpieces. A series of beads, baubles and shiny gold-tinged flowers showcase a persistent accessory-oriented theme, effectively delivering another tantalizing Beckham spread.
