Harper's Bazaar China

Sep 2026

In a sophisticated homage to the existentialist forms of Alberto Giacometti, the Giacometti Special for Harper's Bazaar China masterfully bridges the gap between high fashion and fine art. Under the visionary creative direction of Dou Qianlin Latrubesse, the editorial spread navigates the intersection of structural minimalism and human vulnerability. Photographer Ziqian Wang employs a dual approach, oscillating between low-key chiaroscuro lighting that casts deep, atmospheric shadows in wood-paneled interiors and high-key, hard light techniques that emphasize the raw, sculptural silhouettes of the models. Models Rosalieke Fuchs and Sara Caballero bring a poised, almost architectural presence to the work, their movements echoing the elongated, attenuated proportions characteristic of Giacometti’s bronze figures. The styling, punctuated by heavy fringe and velvet textures, is elevated by the intricate hair work of Quentin Lafforgue and the refined, understated makeup artistry of Marie Dufresne. By placing the figures against both minimalist white backdrops and intimate, light-drenched residential settings, the team creates a narrative that feels both performative and deeply personal. This fashion feature succeeds as a dialogue between the tactile reality of couture and the abstract emotional weight of modern sculpture, resulting in a moody, visually arresting editorial that demands a slow, contemplative engagement from the viewer. The project stands as a testament to the power of artistic collaboration in the contemporary media and entertainment landscape.
