Full of texture, the Harper’s Bazaar Hong Kong 'Style Transformer' editorial features a ton of shaggy furs and sparkling sequins. All of these details stand out against the otherwise stark sands of the desert the photo shoot is set in. It has a futuristic flair that is present in both the theatrical outfits and the contrasting beauty look. The matted, wet-looking hair and severe use of dark blush gives model Beegee Margenyte a rabid appearance as though this editorial was set in a dystopian future.
The Harper’s Bazaar Hong Kong Style Transformer editorial was shot by photographer Tina Luther. Stylist Christiane Graf chose a wardrobe fit for a sci-fi princess, selecting pieces from the likes of Balenciaga, Lanvin and Versace.
