Lee Hyori has entranced fans and fashionistas alike with her latest pictorial for Elle Korea. Hyori paired with renowned designer Tom Ford, whose latest designs are a “collection of elegant and alluring beauty.” It wasn’t just the clothes that caught everyone’s attention though, but rather the fact that Hyori is Tom Ford’s first Korean “muse.” A few photos of Hyori modeling his Fall/Winter 2011 collection were released earlier this month, but more are continuing to come out.
Elle officials focused on capturing Hyori’s mature femininity, accented by luxurious dresses evoking much drama, which had to be flown in from overseas. Both the magazine and Tom Ford praised Hyori for her exemplary modeling skills.
Hyori claimed to feel like a femme fatale while modeling the collection, and indeed she does! Ford’s collection created a sharp and sexy look with defined silhouettes. Of course Hyori portrayed these to her best advantage, showing off her well-known S-line. Many of the clothes involved different textures, from feathers to lace, to mesh, while rich colors and muted patterns added a dark, dramatic atmosphere. Smoky makeup enhanced her intense eyes and facial expressions, while gold and silver colored backgrounds reminded us of the autumnal season and grandiose of Ford’s designs.
While shooting, Hyori said, “It’s like I found a new side of myself.”
