The Rihanna Harper's Bazaar China cover story graces the Asian publication's April 2015 issue. The image series is captured by the lens of photographer Chen Man and draws inspiration from cultural styling.
Blending traditional garb with modern couture, this Rihanna Harper's Bazaar China exclusive boasts wardrobe styling by Xiao Mu Fan. He dresses the Four Five Seconds singer in an array of designer pieces and accessories that range from gold capped nail adornments to opulent headpieces.
This editorial's wardrobe features standout looks like transparent trench coats, cut-out bodycon dresses and silk gowns that are more traditional in their look. Hair styling for this photo series is the work of Yusef Williams who experiments with Rihanna's fringe and its makeup is created by Mylah Morales.
