The fairytale theme of the Harper’s Bazaar China 'Dress of the Dream' editorial is taken up a notch through the use of a couple unique headdresses. They have been modelled after the distinct hairstyles of two Disney princesses: Cinderella and Snow White. Model Yan Xu channels an inner doll-like character that is further perpetuated through the use of large paper props that help set the scene even more.
Lensed by photographer Shxpir, the Harper’s Bazaar China 'Dress of the Dream' editorial is part of the magazine's December 2013 issue. It showcases a slew of gowns perfect for royalty. Perhaps one or two of them will be scene on Kate Middleton during the holidays. Makeup artist Sun Qi and hairstylist Jason X were on beauty duty.
