From hot pinks and bright yellows to deep oranges and pristine blues, the photoshoot has it all.
Starring model Tian Yi, the Vogue China 'Colour the Beach' editorial was lensed by Shanghai- and New York-based photographer Stockton Johnson for the publication's June 2012 issue. Shot on location near the South China Sea, the Chinese beauty showcases designs from such labels as Marni, Givenchy, Versace and Hermès. Styled by Yi Guo, her look was perfected with a slicked-back hairdo.
