Photographer Shawn Xxiao Chen captures the Rebeca Marcos editorial exclusive for fashion publication, The Ones 2 Watch. Entitled 'I Am What I Am', this fashion story is a contemporary translation of 1920s flapper fashions.

Model Rebeca channels a modern flapper gal while sporting a wardrobe of athletic inspired pieces. The pieces are hand-picked by wardrobe stylist Yirantian Guo and range from quilted sweaters, wide-legged trousers and structured blazers from a number of labels that include Acne, [Asos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asos-inspired-by) and Kaale E. Suktae among others.

The model's contemporary 1920s look is made complete with retro hair and makeup looks, courtesy of beauty expert Pace Chen who gives her a slick and curled pixie coif and bold lip and brow applications.
