There’s a certain air of mystery that is completely captivating in the [Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vogue-singapore) China December 2011 editorial.

Shot by photographer Lachlan Bailey and featuring model Sun Feifei, the photo shoot takes place in a dimly lit room and stairwell. Titled ‘Art Deco Cinema,’ the images look like a scene taken directly from a movie you would find at a film festival. The best part about this photo series may be the way the images tell a story that is full of history.

Let the Vogue China December 2011 photo shoot take you into a world away from reality with scenes full of shadows and secrets.

**Implications** - Contemporary consumers look for artwork that will stimulate their senses. No longer attracted to designs that only focus on aesthetics, shoppers want to purchase products with a deeper meaning behind them. Coming out with items containing a grittier subject matter could help a company popularize their name on the market.
