[Vogue Korea's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vogue-singapore-magazine) editorial for its June issue, called 'Forest of Flounce,' displays forest photography at its most high-fashion. The editorial shows model Sera Park dressed in several bold black and white ensembles, often with elaborate headpieces. One such headpiece combines a black helmet-like structure with a gold metallic neck collar, topped with a tuft of white feathers. The result is a mixture of industrial urbanity and [whimsical nature](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow).

The juxtaposition of the man-made and the natural is present throughout the editorial, highlighted by photographer Bon-Chang Koo's ability to use Sera Park as complementary to her [woodsy surroundings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grun-collection), rather than having her clash with them. The result is an effortless marriage of the past to the future, and the industrial to the natural.
