Chad White, Henrik Fallenius and Daan van der Deen star in 'Shopaholic,' an over-indulgent editorial that graces Harper’s Bazaar China's latest issue. This fashion story embodies opulence and is a visual commentary on our society's obsession with brands and objects of value. This style exclusive celebrates excess and suggests that one can never have enough clothes or accessories, especially if they boast a luxury brand name.
Photographer Shxpir captures 'Shopaholic' and works alongside Harper's Bazaar China stylist Jonathan Mahaut. Mahaut dresses models Chad, Henrik and Daan in luxe menswear staples from labels that include Moschino, Dsquared and Burberry Prorsum among other names. They range from logo-adorned sweaters, branded belts and crystal printed suits that are mode artful and expressive than they are practical.
