In the June issue of Harper�s Bazaar Hong Kong, Patrycja Gardygajlo expresses old Hollywood glamour in a shimmering new way. The editorial for Harper�s Bazaar Hong Kong called �Glamorous Life!!� and shot by Dirk Messner, depicts an elegant scene indeed. Rich environment hues and sumptuous garment textures make for a dramatic fashion story. Stylist Jennifer Hahn selects labels like Balmain, Versace, Giambattista Valli, Prada, and Burberry to express the lux 1930s inspired aesthetic. Gardygajlo�s ruby coif harkens to the beauty of vintage vixens like Rita Hayworth and Betty Page. Thick bangs along with polished waves compliment slick evening gowns and lavish furs. �Glamorous Life� transpires in a velvety setting- quite reflective of the fashion in the narrative. Cinematic lighting is echoed metallic accents around the apartment. The fashion of the editorial incorporated a motif of gold and black. The only subtle injection of color comes in a piece from the ever-popular Prada s/s line with a burgundy and emerald green leotard. �Glamorous Life!!� is a attractively modern take on retro splendor.
