The Harper’s Bazaar China May 2014 editorial is appropriately titled, 'Dreamland.' As soon as a person flips the page to this photoshoot, that is exactly what they will be entering. A [purple dreamland](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frankies-bikinis-keepsakes-collection), to be exact, with orangey red accents that come in the form of the model's clown-like coif and her stylishly bright wardrobe.
