Lara Stone | 'Freezing Allure' | Willy Vanderperre | Vogue China December 2010

Trust Lara Stone to create sumptuous sensuality and duchess ‘Freezing Allure’ elegance amid the ruins of China’s aristocratic relationship with empire. Lara’s command of Willy Vanderperre’s lens is complete, and she’s immortalized — not as a photographic image — but an old-masters painting.

The Chinese have a sense of time and history absent from Western minds. Lara Stone pushes the ties of China’s ‘restrained beauty and sexuality’ to the breaking point. Stunning. via FGR
