About
Avec Chic, originated in French, means in an elegant manner. I started Avec Chic because of a need to share my dreams, my goals and my stories. I am Chinese born and raised, but 3 years ago, an opportunity came for me to study in England where this whole adventure started. Days in England have been incredible and I feel very happy and honored to share with you some of my experiences which still inspire me throughout the time. Finishing my Fashion Management courses in UK, I worked as a fashion buyer; then, a fashion editor. Now, I’m a part-time BLOGGER and a full-time DREAMER.
Editor's Letter
Photography is an important area of fashion. Fashion photography is often considered detachment of just glamorous clothing, but an art form. Those photographers, included in this issue, live in different places and times, with their own unique signatures. However, I do find there’s something in common. Therefore, in this issue, I decided to select some of their photography, which are dreamy, vague, and with a touch of romanticism.

Sarah Moon
Valentino S/S 13 Campaign
Her photos show some dreamy atmospheres, but during her career, Sarah Moon has turned from being a model to being a filmmaker. “Each photography is the last witness, or even the last evidence of a moment that would otherwise be lost forever; it is the sense of loss, and of time passing by ‌â€?; with an intimate and melancholic nuance,
Sarah Moon (her real name is Marielle Hadengue) talks about photography and of the almost cathartic role that the photographic lens represents for her. The big subject of her work, and of this famous extract we quoted, is the time that the artist tries to stop, to win over and to tell, as if it was the antagonist (or the protagonist?) of her photography. - Vogue.it
