W Magazine China: From reality to dreamland

Oct 2025

W Magazine China presents 'From reality to dreamland,' a fashion editorial feature that explores surrealist narratives through high-contrast styling and deliberate set composition. Captured by photographer Zhong Lin, the series stars model Lulu Tenney in a sequence of environments that blend minimalist studio aesthetics with tactile, domestic details. Fashion editor Austin Feng curates a diverse wardrobe, shifting between sharp, tailored camel blazers and layered, textured knitwear adorned with eclectic statement rings. The production leans into a soft light aesthetic, using both diffused studio illumination and low-key chiaroscuro techniques to heighten the emotional resonance of the portraiture. Set design by Manon Everhard introduces recurring, playful motifs—such as scattered tomatoes and frozen objects—that ground the editorial in a distinct, artistic language.
