You know you've made it when a popular fashion brand named your state as "the perfect backdrop" for a high-fashion photoshoot.
Recently, UK's Elle magazine conducted a photoshoot for popular Swedish fashion brand H&M in none other than Penang Island!
During the entire shoot, lanky models, draped from head-to-toe in H&M clothing, were seen strutting their stuff on the streets of the island.
According to the writer of the piece, Jessica Vince, the heritage area of George Town - with it's colonial buildings and lantern-lit streets - is the perfect backdrop for the photoshoot.
