Beautiful Image of the Week: Liu Wen for Estée Lauder

I came across this image three times in the past three days. And every time it arrested me. I stopped, looked carefully and moved on slightly happier. The image is so bold and yet soft, so colourful and yet mysterious. Just a great image. And it is always exciting when a simple image can change your mood entirely.
That the model is the first real supermodel from China, Liu Wen, doesn't hurt, with her incomprehensible beauty.
Liu Wen has become a fixture on the runways of New York, Milan and Paris since 2008and has shot editorials with the world’s top fashion photographers including Patrick Demarchelier, Mario Sorrenti and Dan Jackson. Liu Wen recently appeared on the cover of Chinese Vogue and has now joined Estee Lauder's roster of beauties with this campaign, the first time Estée Lauder has signed a Chinese model.
