Inspired by the work of German-Australian photographer Helmut Newton, the Harper's Bazaar Singapore 'Shanghai Daily' editorial is nevertheless much more tame than his often provocative imagery. Following a troop of Asian models, who happen to look like quintuplets, the photoshoot is elegantly chic with an amazonian edge. Powerful and glamorous, the women showcase impeccable style that will inspire others to embrace a bolder wardrobe for the fall season.
The Harper's Bazaar Singapore 'Shanghai Daily' editorial was shot by photographer GT Gan for the September 2012 issue of the magazine. It stars models Grace G, Lili J, Shirley G, Sissi H and Yang Fang. Outfitted by fashion editor Kenneth Goh, they are captured exploring the city of Shanghai in the designs of Givenchy, Gucci, Diane von Furstenberg, Alexander Wang and more.
