I wouldn't call the cover and edit original, but it's refreshing to see Sims' style get the Asian treatment because we never actually see it elsewhere. Yes, he shot Liu Wen for Vogue China, but the focus was more on the apparel than anything else. Love the first editorial shot.
Also, edit #2 explains to me how it is possible for a magazine like Numero to exist under censorship. One must at least r give this team credit for still delivering abstract material without any overt use of sexuality or nudity.
