Modern Weekly China: Beyond the sight

Jul 2025

Modern Weekly China presents Beyond the sight, a high-jewelry editorial featuring model Houjing Cui. Photographed by Antoine and Charlie, the series utilizes clean, high-key studio lighting to emphasize the craftsmanship of ornate diamond, emerald, and gemstone statement pieces. The project leans into a polished aesthetic, characterized by precise winged eye makeup and sleek hair styling. Fashion editor Laetitia Paul orchestrates the tactile, layered jewelry arrangements, while hair stylist Yuji Okuda and makeup artist Lauren Bos provide technical support for the graphic, symmetrical portraits. The work incorporates elements of natural light and glass refraction techniques to create visual depth against a minimalist white backdrop.
