With a purple haze of fashion decadence, this [Harpers BAZAAR](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ghostberry-moisturizer) Singapore October 2012 feature plays with circus motifs.

Titled '[Eastern Express](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eastern-design),' this fashion story was captured by a photographer who goes simply by Gan. In this fantastical portrayal of fall, fashion model Zuzanna Bijoch takes a hypnotizing surreal commute. She boards the [Louis Vuitton train](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/riveria-express) to the Shanghai stop and encounters intricate circus motifs in each frame such as contortionists and clowns.

Bijoch dons pieces form the Marc Jacobs-designed Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2012 collection as she embarks on her trippy journey. The garment story of this iconic collection consists of embellished separates that define the decadence of the French fashion house. With this fashion story, opulence and surrealism meet to make for editorial magic.
