Harper's Bazaar Thailand

May 2026

In the striking editorial series PAPILLON for Harper's Bazaar Thailand, the intersection of luxury fashion and conceptual portraiture takes center stage. Captured through the sharp lens of photographer Ice Pong, the project leans into a minimalist aesthetic, utilizing consistent studio strobe lighting to emphasize both structural garment lines and delicate textures. The work feels distinctly modern, oscillating between avant-garde beauty statements and a refined, high-fashion sensibility. Stylist Kyle Sakunruchira curates an ensemble of sculptural silhouettes and intricate accessories, while hair stylist Harley Beman and makeup artist Lindsay Kastuk introduce playful, surrealist elements—from pastel-hued bobs and dramatic velvet bows to bold graphic pigments and avant-garde lashes. With model Chun Jin serving as the versatile canvas for these transformations, the imagery functions as a masterclass in composition, drawing strength from monochromatic backgrounds in muted pinks and soft blues. These colors ground the more elaborate floral motifs and shimmering metallic embroidery, creating a cohesive visual language that remains both accessible and aspirational. Casting director Bronson Vajda secures a cast that balances serene elegance with a forward-thinking edge, ensuring the series resonates within the luxury fashion sector. Every frame highlights the technical precision of the studio environment, celebrating the meticulous details of lace, quilted fabrics, and ornate jewelry while maintaining an effortless, clean-lined narrative throughout the entire editorial spread.
