On August 21, the Chinese publication SELF released photos from the September 2015 issue through their official Weibo account. Park Shin Hye, who recently appeared at a fan meeting within the region, shows off her ability to seamlessly wear patterns like checkers, plaid and houndstooth.
The actress graces the cover of the upcoming issue with a mature look that exemplifies her position as a trendsetter in Korean and Asian fashion.
Each image captures the grainy, dreamscape of 1970s-era fashion. The Hallyu star evokes the imagery of iconic fashion models when she is depicted in a modern-take on the school girl meets prairie woman look. The bulk of the shoot incorporates long sleeves and skirt lengths, however, there is also a point where there is a shift towards contemporary styles. This serves as a stark contrast to the sexy trend which has led to shorter skirts, punctuated by leggy silhouettes.
While most of the looks featured in the pictorial focus on styles that can be worn during the transition towards cooler weather, one of the most stunning outfits includes a dark, heavy-weight sweater.
The Chinese video portal iqiyi provided behind-the-scenes footage of the SELF photo shoot, which was published on their fashion Weibo. The video captures her willingness to attempt different poses and cooperative spirit, during the shoot.
Throughout the upcoming editorial shoot, Park Shin Hye demonstrates her ability to capture images of modesty and to deliver an alluring image.
While she has yet to confirm her next K-Drama, Park recently returned to the silver screen as part of the ensemble cast of “The Beauty Inside.”
