Zhang Xu Chao Editorial for (Singapore) Citta Bella, June 2008

I think Zhang Xu Chao is one of the most beautiful Chinese models out there -- check out her beauty shots from an earlier post on here. I was totally blown away by those photos when I first saw them 6 months ago. Then I saw this set from Singapore's Citta Bella, June 2008 and I was blown away. again. I sincerely hope she gets more international exposure and get to do more editorials and runway shows.

Shitomi Gilson & Shien Lee Editorial for UCE Magazine #2 May/June 2008

The Hong Kong movie, In the Mood for Love has inspired hundreds of fashion shoots. I believe there are at least four other fashion editorials on this theme in this blog alone.

Here is another editorial inspired by In the Mood for Love from a new online fashion/design/culture magazine called UCE Magazine. I have to admit, the quality of the content and photogprahy are quite exceptional for an online magazine. It reads like a real paper magazine without resorting to those childish, splashy, ADD-addled contents/typography that are so prevalent in ditigal media publications today.

Daul Kim Editorial for Korea Vogue, June 2008

I love Daul Kim in this editorial because the photographer and stylist managed to bring out the softer side of her. Sometimes Daul Kim can come off looking a little hard edged and angry, which does not always translate well into fashion editorials.

But this editorial is perfectly soft, amazingly fluid and utterly sexy. Bravo to the people at Korea Vogue for finding the softer side of Daul Kim.

BTW, is this the full set of photos? Does anyone know if there are more?

Han Jin Editorial for Korea Elle Girl, June 2008

Han Jin looks good in this editorial but the styling is not great. Then again, this is an Elle Girl editorial and the target audience are teenagers and young adults.

But seriously, do teenagers really read Elle Girl and Teen Vogue, instead of the regular Elle and Vogue? I mean, I was reading Vogue and Elle since I was 12 years old. Granted, this was before Elle Girl and Teen Vogue came out but still, I doubt I would have read them. What do you think? Do you read Elle Girl or Teen Vogue?

Also who is the second model in this editorial?

Du Juan Editorial for China Vogue, June 2008

When I first saw this editorial, it reminded me of Hye Park's editorial for Flair Magazine from December 2005. I love it so much that I use the title page of that editorial as my screen's background. Then I realized that both editorials were done by the same photographer, Laurie Bartley. The colors are amazing and it is one of my favorite editorials of all time.
