Vogue Taiwan Ups Sustainability Commitment with 'Blooming Season' by Zhong Lin for April 2021

Photographer Zhong Lin [IG} shares deep sentiments around the shooting of Vogue Taiwan’s April 2021 cover story with two Tawainese models Chen Hsuan ‘Jessie’ Hsu and Jean Chang. The gorgeous fashion story ‘Blooming Season’ is styled by Joey Lin using brands like Bottega Veneta, Moschino, Stella McCartney and Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello. / Hair by Weic Lin; makeup by Shin Tsai

For this cover, every prop and set design were carefully thought out, revolving around the theme ‘To Nature, With Love’. We tried our best to minimise unwanted waste, making sure everyone was in line with one another during the preparation. The flowers were meticulously put together for the shoot. No extravagant set design, it is the bare minimum. No new materials were bought for creating the props, all collected from the trash to be reused then recycled again. The flowers were later adopted by the team after the shoot. The whole process was followed through the end of the shoot, it was fulfilling.

I really appreciate Vogue Taiwan and the team for staying true throughout the whole process. It was a heart-warming experience for me.
