Photographer Shawn Xxiao Chen captures the Rebeca Marcos editorial exclusive for fashion publication, The Ones 2 Watch. Entitled 'I Am What I Am', this fashion story is a contemporary translation of 1920s flapper fashions.
Model Rebeca channels a modern flapper gal while sporting a wardrobe of athletic inspired pieces. The pieces are hand-picked by wardrobe stylist Yirantian Guo and range from quilted sweaters, wide-legged trousers and structured blazers from a number of labels that include Acne, Asos and Kaale E. Suktae among others.
The model's contemporary 1920s look is made complete with retro hair and makeup looks, courtesy of beauty expert Pace Chen who gives her a slick and curled pixie coif and bold lip and brow applications.
