40s Military-Inspired Editorials

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Yin Chao Captured Meng Huang for Numéro China February 2014

— March 3, 2014 — Pop Culture
This old-world military inspired Numéro China February 2014 style editorial looks like something out of the 40s.

Photographer Yin Chao snapped up this strictly tailored style story with brick buildings of mostly red in the background to set off the beige in the uniforms. Model Meng Huang looks stunning yet severe with her black hair pulled up under a military hat. Many of the shots have Meng’s face covered in complete or partial shadows from the headgear.

All the fashion in this Numéro China February 2014 fashion shoot is very uniform. Lots of beige coats and suits, and always a beige hat over top of the model's head. Underneath, collared shirts in black and white have distinctive red patches on the collars. Belts are used in a number of the outfits to give the ensembles some shape.
