FASHION | "Espionage" featuring Samantha Vaughn by Polina & Skene Photography/5 Bond Quotes for the Books

What better way to celebrate the return of hit British television series Sherlock with an espionage inspired editorial! Shot with photographers Polina Shubkina and Skene Milne (who also happen to be art bloggers at Style by Asia - complete photoshoot can be seen here: Pt.1 & Pt.2), I was thrilled to have been able to style my first photoshoot with such a talented team. Sam was also a blast to work with and the photo shoot wouldn't have been the same without her. Many thanks to Electric Sekki, Club Monaco and local designer Six Lee for the wardrobe!

Below I quote the witty words of James Bond as a tie-in with our photographic journey across the fruit markets of Yau Ma Tei. Feel free to comment if you have any other favourite quotes!
