Utterly enchanting, the Vogue China April 2014 editorial takes place in a white hot desert that has been given an atmospheric aesthetic through the lens of photographer Boo George. Artistically cinematic, the scenes are also given a futuristic feel thanks to the fashion put on display. From dramatic headdresses and feathered skirts to sculptural silhouettes and dark embellishments, the outfits also scream cabaret. It is titled 'Desert Song,' after all.
