Description

The Look East fashion project for Financial Times HTSI Magazine presents a curated editorial series exploring contemporary silhouette and textile design. Photographers Sean and Seng capture a juxtaposition of minimalist studio settings and urban exterior backdrops, moving between controlled, soft light and natural light environments. The imagery highlights intricate layering, bold color palettes, and structural garment details through a clean, cool-toned aesthetic. Styling by Tamara Rothstein focuses on textural variety, from metallic slip dresses and argyle knits to sheer, fluid fabrics. The editorial is supported by hair styling from Kei Terada and makeup by Mel Arter, with casting led by Evagria Sergeeva and Helena Balladino. The series features models Canlan Wang, Haojie Qi, and Yilan Hua, emphasizing high-fashion movement and sculptural form.
