Fei Fei Sun stars in the ‘Modern Romance’ editorial for Vogue China’s May 2014 issue. Romanticism was an artistic, literary and intellectual movement characterized by an emphasis on the sublimity of nature and raw emotional expression.
Inspired, Daniela Paudice styled Sun in fashion from the time period. Whether it’s floral embellishments, dramatic ruffles or billowing silhouettes, each ensemble embodies the whimsical aesthetic of fashions past. To complete the look, Esther Langham styled Sun’s hair in an artfully messy ‘do, while makeup artist Maki Ryoke did a rosy blush and sweet pink lip. Sun looks like she’s ready for Prince Charming to knock on her door at any given moment.
Photographer Sharif Hamza captured Sun in all her enchanting, fairy-tale-esq glory.
