Rising Model Grace Epolo by Per Flordian Appelgren for Harper's Bazaar Vietnam

Rising German model Grace Epolo graces the pages of Harper’s Bazaar Vietnam, styled by Nina Fröhlich in Ganni, Gucci, Miu Miu and more.

Photographer Per Florian Appelgren [IG] captures Epolo against a verdant, drawing-room, artistic backdrop inspired by “the most brilliant times of Post-Impressionism,” she tells Harpers. “Women have a stronger voice in society. They wear pants like men . The comfort makes them more autonomous in life.” Read the interview in English using Google Translator. / Hair and makeup by Kerstin Hueges

Vegan handbag designer Melina Bucher interviewed Grace Epolo in January about her impression of the fashion industry from the perspective of the new Leverkusen, Germany model, a 19-year-old Psychology student.

Bucher also spent high-quality time probing Epolo’s activist role in the Black Lives Matter movement.
