"Call Me Irresistible"
Harper's Bazaar Singapore, April 2011 (zemotion | Zhang Jingna Photography Blog, 2013)

The first photo is about aristocrat from the Renaissance period. Girls were more about doing housework and taking care of their man during that time. Editorial for second photo - Touch-me Tresses are romantic, but isn't there much more things to discover other than looking dolled-up and ready for Prince Charming's kiss? The third photo looks like she's seducing her boss while wishing he would save her from that paper clip. As for the fourth one, she's in her lingerie, calling someone. "Unapologetically high-drama looks to get hung up on." But why?
You have to look good no matter what you are doing. Even in your sleep.

Zhang Jingna shot these women beautifully, but it gave me a sense of these girls are submissive than the dominant. Is this what fashion is trying to portray around this region? That girls are suppose to rely on a strong/dominant person?
