China Chow, model and host of the new Bravo reality show 'Work of Art: The Next Great Artist,' appears in this slick editorial for the December 2011 issue of Elle US.
Photographed by Richard Philips with creative direction by Dominic Sidhu, the shoot shows the part Chinese-Japanese-German-Scottish model looking as stunning as ever (with an ancestry like that, who wouldn't be stunning?) posing among racecars in beautiful pieces by the likes of Gucci, Versace, Chanel, just to name a few. Among the enviable styles are a gorgeous black and white silk crepe dress by Chanel, an elegant white jersey dress by Mugler and a red and white color-blocked dress from Balenciaga by Nicolas Ghesquiere.
This riveting photo shoot was styled by Stacy Battat, with hair by David von Cannon and makeup by Andrea Helgadottir.
