Harper's Bazaar Hong Kong

Sep 2026

Harper’s Bazaar Hong Kong captures a distinct nostalgic mood in Daydream Avenue, a fashion editorial that seamlessly blends contemporary high-fashion sensibilities with a rich 1970s aesthetic. Under the creative guidance of fashion editor and stylist Sk Tang, the project leans into a warm, retro color grade that elevates the entire series, effectively bridging the gap between high-end designer fashion and raw, lived-in lifestyle photography. The editorial relies heavily on analogue and film techniques, utilizing natural light and deliberate hard light to emphasize the rich, tactile nature of the garments, from glossy trench coats to layered knitwear. Photographer Kiu Ka Yee expertly navigates the balance between outdoor urban environments and clean studio portraiture, ensuring that every frame feels cinematic and intentional. A pivotal element of the project's visual identity is the work of hair stylist Darine Sengseevong, whose design of the model’s voluminous, textured curly hair serves as a focal point, grounding the editorial in a bold, tactile quality. By juxtaposing heritage-inspired textures against modern, sophisticated styling, Daydream Avenue functions as more than a simple style showcase; it is a meticulously crafted narrative that explores character and silhouette. The result is a series that feels both timeless and urgent, proving that editorial minimalism can coexist with intricate, multi-layered styling to create a lasting impact within the competitive landscape of international fashion media.
