"China Girls" lensed by Mert & Marcus

“China Girls”, a provocative 1920‘s inspired editorial from Interview magazine lensed by Mert & Marcus: fashion photography's reigning auteurs.  

Their photographs encompass a wide range of styles and influences. What they tend to have in common, besides a digitized glaze, is a fascination with a certain kind of woman. “A woman that’s quite sexually charged, confident, not too over the top… women with a meaning, a you-don’t-have-to-talk-or-move-too-much-to-tell-who-you-are kind of woman… Even if the subject is innocence, I like to see something powerful” - Mert and Marcus
