We are beyond thrilled to share the news that our bespoke velvet blue gown was recently featured in Harper’s Bazaar Vietnam’s Halloween Edition on November 1st, 2024. This exclusive editorial titled "Horror Queen" beautifully marries high fashion with the haunting allure of Asia’s rich tapestry of horror cinema, manga, and mythological tales. Bringing this vision to life was the incomparable Heidi Wong, an acclaimed influencer and actress known for her ethereal presence and striking on-screen charisma.
Styled to perfection by the talented Michelle Wu and captured through the lens of the visionary photographer Reinhart Kenneth, this editorial is an exquisite blend of elegance, mystery, and a touch of the macabre. The atmosphere, inspired by the chilling yet captivating essence of classic Asian horror, transforms our velvet blue gown into a piece that is both timeless and enigmatic.
The Gown: A Masterpiece of Craftsmanship
The centerpiece of the shoot, our custom-designed velvet gown, is a symphony of sumptuous textures and elegant lines. Crafted from the finest deep blue velvet, the gown features a daring low-cut bustier adorned with delicate velvet straps, striking a balance between sensuality and sophistication. The full pleated skirt cascades dramatically to the floor, creating an opulent silhouette that moves with fluid grace. Each detail, from the meticulously structured bodice to the sweeping hem, was crafted to evoke a sense of grandeur and mystery.
This gown is not just a piece of fashion—it is a statement of luxury, designed for those who seek to command the room with elegance and presence. The rich velvet fabric catches the light beautifully, adding depth and drama, making it the perfect choice for an editorial that celebrates the intersection of beauty, fashion, and the eerie allure of horror-inspired storytelling.
The Vision Behind the Shoot
In this special edition, the creative team drew inspiration from the haunting and visually arresting narratives found in Asian horror films and folklore. Whether it’s the ghostly whispers of traditional mythology or the spine-chilling suspense of Japanese manga, these stories possess a unique power to captivate and unsettle. Heidi Wong embodies this duality flawlessly, portraying a "Horror Queen" who is as beguiling as she is terrifying.
Styled with elements that hint at gothic romance and supernatural elegance, the editorial celebrates the haunting beauty that lies at the heart of Asian horror traditions. The velvet gown, with its rich midnight hues, echoes the shadows of moonlit nights and forgotten legends, embodying a sense of mystery that perfectly aligns with the editorial’s theme.
