Marie Claire China marks the start of the year with a series of editorial covers for the January 2026 issue, headlined by model He Cong. Photographer Nick Yang captures a range of visual aesthetics, from high-contrast halftone graphics to clean, sculptural studio portraiture. The series leans into avant-garde beauty styling, characterized by intricate hair textures and bold pigment palettes. Throughout the collection, the imagery balances soft lighting with graphic typography. Collaborators MingHu Zhang and Valentina Li provide specialized hair and makeup artistry, incorporating elements such as botanical embellishments and liquid-like distortion effects to ground the editorial series in contemporary fashion trends.
