The Palace Hotel Shangri-La in Paris, France, serves as a lavish backdrop for the Harper's BAZAAR Español 'En Mi Castillo' editorial. A perfect match for the equally extravagant fashion showcased throughout, the photoshoot is all kinds of decadent. Considering that it features the fall 2012 haute couture season’s best gowns by Elie Saab, Atelier Versace, Jantaminiau, Chanel, Givenchy and more, it is only natural that the location would befit the elegant ensembles.
The Harper's BAZAAR Español 'En Mi Castillo' editorial was shot by photographer Benjamin Kanarek with additional creative direction by Frederique Renaut. It stars model Maud Welzen. The Dutch beauty was styled by Sohei Yoshida. Appearing in the November 2012 issue of the magazine, the looks were perfected with bold lips by Angelik Iffennecker and straight locks by Patrice Delaroche.
