Once again, Fan Bingbing by Chen Man

Fan Bingbing has served as muse/model for Chen Man in the past for Dolce & Gabana and as Bruce Lee. Here they collaborate for i-D magazine.



Chen Man is known for doing all the work on an image, from the initial photograph through manipulation in Photoshop and 3-D rendering. She said that images altered by software create “a reality that we can control and perfect in the way we choose.”

  1. Wow... I *love* these! The "one eye" motif is really cool.

  2. It is a heck of a look--apparently one of the signatures of ID magazine is the "one-eyed smile" although Chen Man executes it on a higher plane than most fashion photographers.

    For comparison, here is a link to a bunch of ID covers: bit.ly/SOkhBb

  3. OK, I get the one-eyed look now. Not bad for a design gimmick, especially if it's done creatively.
