# Gold-Hued Editorials Geoff Barrenger Gives the Midas Touch to Harper's Bazaar Russia By Meghan Young | Published 2009-09-11 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harpers-bazaar-russia-geoff-barrenger References: [fashionmagazine](http://www.fashionmagazine.com/blogs/tiff-2009/2009/09/11/gallery-geoff-barrengers-golden-shoot-for-russian-bazaar/) & [bornrich.org](http://www.bornrich.org/entry/dalcans-design-cube-is-the-daddy-of-tv-cabinets-exclusive/) Is it coincidence that Canadian-raised Geoff Barrenger thought to bring a touch of gold to Harper’s Bazaar Russia just as some of the globe's more brilliant golden girls graced the streets of Toronto for [TIFF](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kerastase1)?
