Marie Claire China
Beyond Sound, Beyond Form by Mario Wang
Sep 2026
Beyond Sound, Beyond Form is a striking fashion editorial produced for Marie Claire China. Captured by photographer Mario Wang, the series leans into a surreal, high-contrast aesthetic that juxtaposes the stark, arid textures of desert landscapes with bold, sculptural silhouettes. The imagery utilises natural light to ground the compositions in an earthy palette, creating a distinct visual tension between the rugged terrain and the refined, editorial styling. Styling by E Tian elevates the narrative through the use of vibrant, saturated textiles—including billowing silks and structured knitwear—that interact with the expansive environment. The project features model Qun Ye, who navigates these vast outdoor settings, from terracotta sand dunes to futuristic solar facilities, creating a graphic, layered editorial experience. The work relies on clean, geometric framing and a blend of warm, sunlit tones to craft its atmospheric, high-fashion focus.
