The W Magazine East of Eden editorial features a series of Asian motifs, displayed here on behalf of models Saskia de Brauw, Ondria Hardin, Xiao Wen Ju and Yumi Lambert. The female team stood in chic apparel, chosen by stylist Edward Enninful whose looks were captured by photography duo Mert & Marcus.
Mert & Marcus brought the oriental themes of East of Eden alive with dark color schemes and opulent backdrops. Among the latter were painted floors, raised platforms and faux landscapes, making for interesting pairings with the poses of the women.
Enninful chose to match these sets with tube dresses, leather pieces, harnesses and perforated dresses. Make up expert Lucia Pieroni placed obscure twists upon these ensembles with bright red and blue lip tones.
