Project Modern Weekly China · Before The Show
Before The Show offers an intimate, fly-on-the-wall perspective of the high-stakes environment surrounding luxury fashion events, expertly curated for Modern Weekly China. Through the lens of photographer Tianzheng Yun, the editorial project strips away the performative gloss of the runway to focus on the quiet anticipation and candid energy of the pre-event atmosphere. The series leans into a distinct lifestyle aesthetic, balancing the polished elegance of designer Jonathan Anderson’s tailored tweed ensembles and structured silhouettes with the raw, unpredictable nature of event flash photography. Each frame serves as a study in contrast, juxtaposing the deliberate poise of subjects like Anya Taylor-Joy against the blurred, bustling backdrop of a crowded social function. By utilizing a mix of natural light to articulate fabric textures and harsher flash techniques to capture the spontaneity of the moment, the work achieves a sophisticated narrative flow. These portraits effectively translate the architectural complexity and social friction of the industry into a refined visual language. The resulting editorial portraits move beyond simple documentation, instead framing the quiet moments before the spotlight turns on as the most telling elements of the narrative. This collection ultimately captures a candid, high-fashion atmosphere that feels both exclusive and remarkably grounded, proving that the most compelling fashion storytelling often resides in the periphery of the main event.
Project Modern Weekly China · Vivian Jenna Wilson
For this striking editorial feature in Modern Weekly China, photographer Winter Vandenbrink captures Vivian Jenna Wilson in a series that masterfully explores the intersection of high fashion and architectural form.

With fashion editing and styling by Kingsley Tao, the collection feels both intimate and grand, utilizing a mix of natural light and studio strobe to emphasize texture and contrast. The editorial portrait series showcases a sophisticated play on volume and line, where subjects are framed not just as models, but as focal points of a larger graphic composition. Hair stylist Mélissa Rouillé and makeup artist William Bartel provide a polished, balanced foundation that supports the daring styling choices, while casting director Monika Domarke ensures each frame carries a distinct, contemplative presence. Whether set against an urban backdrop or a controlled, shadowy studio environment, the project maintains a cohesive visual language rooted in editorial minimalism. By focusing on sharp edges, bold color palettes, and deliberate, almost cinematic poses, the imagery channels a refined sensibility that defines contemporary luxury fashion photography, delivering a visual narrative that is as technically precise as it is aesthetically evocative.
Project Modern Weekly China · Vivian Jenna Wilson
In a striking editorial collaboration for Modern Weekly China, photographer Winter Vandenbrink captures the multifaceted persona of Vivian Jenna Wilson, blending high-concept sculptural elements with raw, cinematic intimacy. The fashion editorial leans into a sophisticated dialogue between structural minimalism and fluid, ethereal textures, grounding the avant-garde nature of the featured garments within the stark reality of the frame. Across a series of portraits, the work shifts from the sharp, urban silhouettes of architectural gowns captured in high-contrast natural light to the soft, rhythmic grace of tulle and satin slip dresses set against austere, moody studio backdrops. This tension is meticulously crafted, utilizing studio strobe lighting to emphasize the delicate interplay between volume and shadow. Under the discerning eye of fashion editor and stylist Kingsley Tao, the visuals prioritize a clean, sculptural aesthetic that elevates the subject into a figure of modern poise. With artful contributions from hair stylist Mélissa Rouillé and makeup artist William Bartel, the imagery achieves a polished, editorial finish that feels both contemporary and timeless. By avoiding ornamental excess, the production highlights the inherent tension of high-fashion photography, where the mastery of space and light transforms simple posing into an exploration of identity and form, ultimately cementing a visual narrative that is as compelling as it is masterfully composed.
