Forbidden Snow: Ming Couture

【PROJECT GOAL | Project Objective: Generate a 9:16 vertical "high-end fashion magazine cover-level" realistic photo: use the FACE_REF I uploaded as a reference for the character's identity, 100% reproducing facial features and bone structure; The character wears heavy-duty Hanfu (multi-layered, hand-embroidered/gold-woven brocade, and precious gold decorations) in the "Ming Dynasty Gorgeous Formal Wear Style," and is photographed against the snowy landscape of the Red Wall Corridor of the Forbidden City. The images feature photography, styling, and cover design at the standards of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, ELLE, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, i-D, Allure, and FLAUNT. Any one of the above magazines is randomly selected as the cover design, maintaining the consistent design style (in both Chinese and English).

【INPUTS | Input]

FACE_REF: Reference image of the character's facial features I uploaded (identity locked)

【ABSOLUTE PRIORITY | Identity Lockdown (Highest Priority)】

100% reproduction of FACE_REF's facial features and bone structure; Eye distance, nose bridge, nose wings, lip shape, jawline, and cheekbone structure are all consistent and must not be shifted. 

Authentic skin texture: Visible fine texture and pores; avoid excessive smoothing and trendy skincare. 

Adult female image. 

【SHOT TYPE | Choose one of two shots (randomly selected by the model, and must be authentic and consistent)] A) Half-body cover: from chest to above the knees, with the clearest embroidery on the head, face, and upper body, and the sharpest eye focus (main recommendation). B) Full body cover: Fully present the layered gown and hem patterns from head to toe, with stronger perspective in the corridor and red wall (alternative). (Whether A/B: Always maintain the "cover composition," with blank space for layout, but avoid tearing paper or hand-drawn effects.) ）

【LOCATION | Scene (Forbidden City/Forbidden City)

The Red Wall Corridor of the Beijing Forbidden City: vermilion walls, red columns, carved windows, painted beams, detailed and highly transparent depth. 

Choose one of two weather conditions (random): 1) Fine snow falling 2) Clear skies after snow (under eaves/steps, fresh air)

Clean background: no tourists, no modern signage, no mobile status bar UI, no watermark subtitles. 

【LIGHTING & CAMERA | Photographic Texture (Magazine Level)

Lens Feel: 85mm portrait texture (half-body) or 50mm/70mm (full-body), shallow depth of field, eyes are sharpest. 

Light: natural winter light + soft fill light; Gold jewelry/pearls have real highlights but no explosions; Embroidery textures are clear and legible. 

Color: high-end cinematic feel, with red walls and the main colors of the clothing not staining each other; Overall, clean, transparent, and richly textured. 

【WARDROBE | Ming Dynasty Gorgeous Ceremonial Dress (heavily crafted, multi-layered, readable hard anchor points) Target aesthetic: "Mainly gold jewelry, dense tassels, phoenix crown, extensive gold brocade on clothing, intricate layering yet sophisticated without vulgarity." 

Contour and Layering (must be layered multiple times)

Inner layer: white/black stand-up collar/inner collar clearly visible (clean and crisp, creating layered boundaries)

Middle layer: front-front jacket/shirt (or square collar/stand collar structure), wide cuffs, fine piping

Outer layer: The shawl/xiapei-style gown structure (with obvious "pressed collars/accessories") for support, giving the overall layering a heavy layer

Bottoms: Long skirt/horse-face skirt direction, continuous hem pattern, gold or embroidered edges at the bottom (must be prominent in full-body version)

Fabric and craftsmanship (heavy handcrafting must be "visible")

Main fabric: Jin brocade / Jacquard brocade (authentic fiber feel, subtle patterns appear)

Main techniques: gold thread stitching, three-dimensional embroidery, appliqué embroidery (to give patterns a "slightly undulating" thickness)

Motif themes: Peony / Round Flower / Auspicious Cloud / Auspicious Beast (delicate, dense, but with clear edges; the auspicious beast cannot be a dragon)

Details: piping, hidden buttons, ties, collar guards, layered decorations on the chest with a "press/jewel feel" (but not messy)

Headpiece (a heavy-industry headpiece dominated by gold, must be luxurious)

Gold is the main direction: gold threads and pearls, dotted kingfisher/pearl jade, dense hairpins, symmetrical long tassel pendants, phoenix crown

Tassel length and density should be "distinct": slight swaying when walking or in a breeze

Earrings/necklaces: Gold + pearls + jade (precious but not cheap flash)

【COLOR MATRIX | Color matrix matching (must be implemented, and must be "multicolored embroidery")】 From the following three "main color schemes," one set will be randomly selected as the 【base color/large main fabric color】. Note: The main color only determines the "base color"; embroidery must be 【Court Brocade Style Multicolor Embroidery】 (gold embroidery alone is not allowed). 

Scheme G (Jade Green Base): Base color: Jade Green/Peacock Green (large main fabric) Embroidery: Multicolored threads + mixed gold thread (at minimum: gold, vermilion/rouge, royal blue/indigo, off-white, light purple, or lotus pink) Layered highlights: off-white inner collar/lining + a small amount of vermilion and royal blue as "palace color contrast" accents

Scheme A (Apricot Base): Base color: Warm apricot/beige apricot (large main fabric) Embroidery: Multi-color threads + mixed gold thread (at minimum: gold, jade green/turquoise green, vermilion/coral red, peacock blue/indigo, off-white) Layered highlights: Use jadeite green and vermilion for a small palace color clash, maintaining "elegant but not plain, luxurious but not flashy" 

Scheme R (Red Background): Base color: deep vermilion/crimson (large areas of main fabric) Embroidery: multicolored threads + mixed gold thread (at minimum: gold, peacock blue/indigo, turquoise green, off-white, rouge or coral red) Layered highlights: off-white inner collar/lining + a small amount of jade green or peacock blue for warm and cool contrast

[Color Enforcement Rules]

"Colorful embroidery" must be visible: at least four or more colored embroidery threads are clearly distinguishable and overlapped with gold threads to create rich layers. 

The edges of the pattern should be clear and not smudged together; Under the red wall background, clothing and background must be separated, with clear layering, low dirtiness, and thickness without feeling stuffy. 

The monotonous effect of "single gold embroidery covering the whole body" is prohibited. 

【POSE | Cover Pose (Dignified, Elegant, Not Staged or Tacky)]

Half-body: Both hands gently hold the round fan/palace fan in front of the body (with clear embroidery on the fan surface), or one hand lightly gathers the sleeve while the other lets it hang naturally

Full body: stand upright, maintain a stable center of gravity, and the skirt hem drapes naturally; the sleeves form an elegant curve

Expression: calm, restrained, confident; Don't exaggerate your laughter, and don't make short videos with "winking and heart gestures."
