Go Behind The Scenes Of Our 2017 Fashion Shoots

Senior Fashion Editor Windy Aulia looks back to his favourite behind the scenes candid snaps from the past year

December 31, 2017

2017 has been a fantastic journey in terms of fashion shoots. We drove to the Californian desert, braced the stench of a dingy Manhattan club, risked our life at the remote beaches of Australia, caught the cold in the wet forests of upstate New York, got lost in the middle of sketchy areas of Sydney, got chased out of the streets of Paris and even scored an exclusive permit to shoot inside a more-than-600-years-old palace in Florence, Italy.

We flew hundreds of thousands of air miles. We checked in hundreds of kilograms worth of runway looks while countless other Fedex/Worldnet/UPS/DHL boxes of samples were delivered during the course of our fashion shoots’ trips.

There were fights, tears and sweat involved. There were sleepless nights and endless discussions with the photographers and producers, hair person and makeup artists; through Skype, WhatsApp, Line, Wechat, you name it, across different time zones and continents.

All in the name of fashion shoots.

Other than that, behind the scene of fashion shoots in 2017 were also filled with joy and laughter and the occasional silly antics. And more importantly, they have carved interesting memory that were sometimes got edited out from the glossy pages of our magazine. So do enjoy these candid snaps of  Harper’s BAZAAR Singapore fashion shoots from the past year. And here’s to many more in 2018!

2017 Behind The Scene

An Haute Couture shoot always feel special because of the sheer tradition of it. And for this one, Diego Uchitel, the photographer, looked through hundreds of places in Paris and found a location that gave the perfect day light and had the perfect wall with just the right amount of 'beauty'. Well...that's photographer's talk if you ask me.

Last shot of the day had to be during the golden hour at this beautiful Villa in Florence. It was such a magic moment.

The thing with shooting inside Palazzo Pitti in Florence was that you couldn't really touch almost anything, which was a challenge.

I just thought the juxtaposition was worth for a picture...steaming samples in the hallowed halls of Palazzo Pitti, witnessed by hundreds-years-old frescoes.

That's typical Yu Tsai and his antics of doing his signature 'Models, Models Models' action on the desert of Palm Dale, California.

This was at the end of a set. And after a hard day's work where we had to wait for thunder cloud to pass through the location.

Simon Upton often uses remote Australian beaches as his work space and in this case, Montana Cox was supposed to embody a modern version of Botticelli's 'Birth of Venus'.

This was Montana Cox giving her best impression of an '80s-meets-Renaissance raconteur. In fact, we were playing Pat Benatar's 'Love Is A Battlefield' in the makeup trailer throughout the time.

I took a 24-hour flight to New York City to shoot this up and coming actress. At the end of the shoot, she looked so relieved and happy while I was nursing my jet-lag and thinking about the 20 boxes of samples that I had to pack.

The shoot was done at the start of winter at Upstate New York, three hour drive outside of Manhattan. It was a wet and short day, a difficult set to say the least. But the crew and the location was simply amazing and by the end of it we managed to get great pictures and beautiful memories.

She came on set in character. It was sort of Manga meets New York cool but replete with high-octane energy.

The location was this dingy yet famous club by the river in Manhattan. The stench of hard rage from the night before was still fresh yet it added the rock n' roll vibe that we were after.

The casting, the crew, the clothes, the vibe and the atmosphere of the shoot on that day was simply magical.

The theme for the issue was 'Youth'. Georges Antoni, the photographer, and I went for a backstory about a group of mischiefs, who were playing truant at school and went to a Dubstep rave party instead.
