Project 72 Magazine · 72 Magazine Fall 2026 Covers
For the Fall 2026 issue, 72 Magazine delivers a masterclass in fashion editorial storytelling, bridging the gap between archival nostalgia and contemporary high-end design. With creative direction from Karl Bolander and Ronnie Cooke Newhouse, the publication leans into the visual language of the nineties, encapsulated by the bold, graphic typography that anchors its layout. The series of covers, including a standout image of Julia Nobis, utilizes precise beauty light to emphasize the rich, tactile details of a sculptural peplum-style jacket and tiered skirt, creating a sharp contrast against a vibrant pink seamless backdrop. By blending an editorial aesthetic with clean, punchy graphic sensibilities, the project reinterprets classic magazine design for the modern era. The photography, executed with a sharp eye for texture and composition, captures a definitive cultural mood that celebrates both historical influence and forward-looking fashion. Through this collection, the editorial team maintains a relentless focus on silhouette and character, reinforcing the magazine's status as a leader in the media and entertainment landscape. Every element, from the deliberate styling choices to the vertical framing, works in harmony to command attention on the newsstand, proving that the printed medium remains a powerful vessel for creative expression in an increasingly digital world.

Centered on model Adut Akech, the series moves between expansive public squares and curated interior spaces, emphasizing dramatic silhouettes and the tactile quality of high-fashion fabrics. Photographed by Sean Thomas, the work utilizes analogue film and natural light to capture volume and movement in a series of layered, structured garments. Fashion styling by Dena Giannini defines the aesthetic, bridging the gap between minimalist editorial sensibilities and the ornate scale of the European settings featured throughout the project.
Project 72 Magazine · Shape Shifter: JW Anderson
72 Magazine presents Shape Shifter, a fashion editorial spotlighting the latest JW Anderson collection. Captured by photographer Mark Kean, the series documents the intricate relationship between structural form and high-fashion textiles. The shoot leans into a minimalist aesthetic, utilizing a neutral grey backdrop and soft, directional lighting to emphasize the collection's sculptural silhouettes and reflective embellishments. Fashion editor and stylist Joe McKenna leads the editorial vision, pairing avant-garde knitwear and draped gowns with technical accessories. The production features hair styling by Anthony Turner, makeup by Lynsey Alexander, and manicures by Saffron Goddard.

Project 72 Magazine · Adriana Lima
In this expansive fashion feature for 72 Magazine, photographer Daniel Sachon masterfully charts the evolving narrative of model Adriana Lima through a lens of quiet, cinematic intensity. The editorial package oscillates between the domestic intimacy of sun-drenched interiors and the structured poise of luxury fashion, creating a visual dialogue that feels both spontaneous and meticulously curated. Stylist Dena Giannini elevates the storytelling by pairing sharp, monochromatic tailoring with unexpected textures, such as sheer hosiery and intricate lace, while the application of natural light anchors each frame in a warm, atmospheric glow. Whether captured against the lush foliage of a garden or nestled within the moody, chiaroscuro-drenched depths of a walk-in closet, Lima remains the steadfast anchor, her presence amplified by sleek styling from Sami Knight and luminous, clean beauty work from makeup artist Holly Silius. The project leans into editorial minimalism, eschewing excessive artifice to focus on the interplay between form, silhouette, and the opulent surroundings. By blending high-fashion sensibilities with lifestyle-inspired compositions, the feature transcends a typical portrait series, offering a nuanced look at style that feels deeply personal. Through expert casting and precise creative execution, this collaboration establishes a sophisticated aesthetic that lingers long after the final page, celebrating the enduring allure of classic fashion house design through a thoroughly modern, cinematic perspective.
Project 72 Magazine · Performance & Ability
In the latest editorial feature for 72 Magazine, titled Performance & Ability, photographer Felix Cooper and fashion editor Stuart Williamson embark on a nuanced exploration of contemporary tailoring within the luxury fashion sector. This fashion project discards conventional artifice, leaning instead into a raw, tactile appreciation for garment construction. By utilizing a blend of natural light and studio strobe, Cooper captures a series of evocative portraits that serve as a study of movement and stillness alike. The collection feels inherently rooted in a classic editorial aesthetic, where the interplay of texture—from rugged leather bombers and glen plaid coats to distressed trousers—takes center stage against mottled grey and cream fabric backdrops. The styling, curated by Williamson, displays an architectural precision that mirrors the chiaroscuro technique often employed throughout the shoot, grounding the luxury garments in a stark, human reality. Complementing this visual rigor, hair stylist Michael Harding provides clean, understated grooming that ensures the focus remains firmly on the interplay of light and fabric structure. Rather than relying on high-concept flair, the work channels a sense of quiet authority, inviting the viewer to contemplate the intersection of personal presence and high-end design. It is a masterful example of how simplified studio environments can elevate a fashion narrative, creating a timeless visual document that celebrates both the subject and the meticulous craft behind every layer of clothing.
Project 72 Magazine · Rihanna
In this high-profile media and entertainment feature for 72 Magazine, photographer Szilveszter Mako captures Rihanna in an expansive series of editorial portraits that redefine the boundaries of celebrity imagery. This collection transcends standard portraiture, leaning into a painterly, conceptual aesthetic that utilizes studio strobe and low-key chiaroscuro lighting to isolate the entertainer against moody, textured backgrounds. The project is a masterclass in visual storytelling, where art direction by Stefan Abrahams and fashion styling by Edward Enninful curate a sequence of high-fashion silhouettes. Each frame highlights intricate material studies—from layered metallic fringe and botanical embroidery to voluminous feathered plumes—that demand focus on form and texture. Hair stylist Yusef Williams and makeup artist Ammy Drammeh contribute to the dramatic transformations, oscillating between towering blonde beehives and retro-inspired dark waves, all while maintaining a consistent sense of intensity and poise. Whether captured in monochromatic high-contrast or vibrant, surreal settings, the work reads as a sophisticated visual dialogue between subject and lens. By centering Rihanna as both a muse and a focal point of structured, architectural fashion, this editorial campaign successfully achieves a timeless, polished look that elevates the traditional magazine cover into a deliberate, cinematic display of creative production and artful composition.

Across a series of strikingly composed images, the project pushes the boundaries of traditional portraiture, balancing structural severity with tactile, organic detailing. Photographed by Szilveszter Mako, the series utilizes both precise studio strobe setups and nuanced natural light to explore the interplay between the subject and her environment. With art direction by Stefan Abrahams and fashion direction by Dena Giannini, the visuals lean into a cinematic aesthetic, favoring moody, low-key chiaroscuro lighting that elevates the intricate textures of the garments—from layered fringe and metallic embellishments to sculptural feather pieces. Stylist Edward Enninful curates a high-fashion narrative that feels both theatrical and deeply grounded, supported by Yusef Williams’ architectural hair styling and Ammy Drammeh’s sharp makeup applications. The setting, often anchored by minimalist, textured backdrops and thematic set design by Felix Gesnouin, allows the clothing’s graphic silhouettes to take center stage. This editorial portrait collection achieves a rare equilibrium, blending the polished, static nature of a studio session with a dynamic, avant-garde sensibility that defines the current luxury fashion landscape, resulting in a timeless study of texture, color, and poise.
