'Highlands Adventure' in CosmoGirl October 2010 is the sort of frenzied, psychedelic editorial that you pull straight out of the magazine and frame. Each shot in this series is more gorgeous than the last, thanks to a mix of [exotic Asian landscapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celines-zhangyuan-popup), [avant-garde fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiger-and-the-monkey) and traditional cultures.

Nicoline Patricia Malina was the photographer behind 'Highlands Adventure' in CosmoGirl, and Michael Pondaag provided the styling.

**Implications** - The featured model is Zhang Fan who poses in the most wild and bright outfits you may ever see. She wears [every color of the rainbow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/country-club) in one outfit and still manages to look chic. Her hair and makeup was done by Qiqi Franky who added colorful head pieces to Fan's graceful updo.
