The W franchise is known for beautiful shoots, and the Korea edition does not disappoint. In the February 12 edition, they went a step further.
Stylist
Jin A and photographer Choi Yong Ben unified two European cultures in a
beautiful shoot. The French impressionist flavour of the shoot is contrasted to
the Sicilian, vintage womanly feel of the Dolce&Gabbana SS12 collection. The
light, colours and brush strokes, play a very Dolce&Gabbana-esque game of
contrast with the clothes.
This shoot showcases the key items from the SS12 Dolce&Gabbana collection worn by Han Hye Jin.
The
shoot focuses on the more special pieces from the collection, illustrating the
main themes.
There’s
a jewel-encrusted cocktail dress from the fireworks portion of the collection,
as well as fashion editors’ favourite, the corset from the same theme.
Jin
A also chose the aptly contrasting light blue macramé with plastic flower
appliqué and tomato print organza dress.
On
the note of plastic the see-through orange PVC with black raffia crochet trim is
worthy of a painting in itself.
Of
course, a jewel encrusted corset form the finale could not go amiss.
European frenemies like France and Italy seem to have merged beautifully in Korea.

Whilst collaborating with Swide for The Matt Silk Collection SS12 video, Luca Finotti gave us the chance to get him in front of the camera for an exclusive interview. Whether it’s talking about his love affair with the camera, his views on what ‘ugly is’ or how he keeps himself sane, the up and coming fashion director was as natural in front of the camera as he is behind it.
