There is an elegance in the wild that the Vogue China 'Savage Grace' editorial strives to capture. It does so with flying colors. Although dressed to the nines in stunning gowns and lingerie-like dresses, model Liu Wen poses ferociously in front of the camera. At times with smeared lipsticks, others wrestling an alligator, she goes the full nine yards for the photoshoot.
Appearing in the 10th Anniversary issue of the magazine, the Vogue China 'Savage Grace' editorial was lensed by Mario Testino. The devastingly beautiful ensembles were styled by Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele, who pulled pieces from the likes of Giorgio Armani, Kenneth Jay Lane and Burberry Prorsum. The polished primitive looks were perfected with lush locks by hair stylist Oribe and a bright red lip by makeup artist Serge Hodonou.
