Featured Achtung Magazine projects
This week's top Achtung Magazine projects, carefully handpicked by Visie's expert curators, showcase the best in style and innovation.
Project Achtung Magazine · Erste Option auf das New Face der Saison
For their latest fashion editorial, Achtung Magazine presents Erste Option auf das New Face der Saison, a captivating visual narrative that explores the intersection of raw, rural landscapes and high-end styling. Captured through the lens of photographer Laura Schaeffer, the project leans into editorial minimalism, utilizing the soft, evocative quality of natural light to define its cinematic aesthetic. The imagery follows model Malin Rudnick across a series of stark, atmospheric locations, ranging from moss-covered fields and calm, reflective lakes to the weathered interiors of rustic barns and classical architecture. This movement between the wild outdoors and structured domestic spaces creates a deliberate rhythm, highlighting the versatile interplay between heavy textures—like royal blue faux fur and voluminous floral-print fabrics—and the muted, golden hues of dusk and dawn. Under the editorial guidance of Alexander Rottenmanner, the series rejects the overly polished standard of modern portraiture in favor of something more tactile and grounded. By pairing sophisticated high-fashion silhouettes with the organic unpredictability of the environment, the work achieves a compelling balance of tension and stillness. Whether utilizing low-key chiaroscuro lighting or expansive, wide-angle perspectives, the portfolio successfully positions its subject as a versatile presence, proving that the most resonant fashion stories are often found where the boundaries of the polished and the primitive seamlessly dissolve.
Project Achtung Magazine · Urban Force/ Hey Smilla!
Urban Force/ Hey Smilla! is a fashion editorial feature for Achtung Magazine, captured by photographer Sven Baenziger. The project centers on model Smilla Herbst, exploring the intersection of high-concept designer fashion and raw industrial environments. Executed through a series of multi-panel layouts and diptychs, the photography utilizes a clean, minimalist aesthetic to contrast sculptural apparel with concrete architecture and transportation infrastructure. The visual narrative leans into graphic composition, balancing monochrome portraiture with bold splashes of primary color. Techniques include soft, natural light and subtle analogue film textures, which emphasize both fabric silhouettes and structural details.
Project Achtung Magazine · Museumsreifeprüfung
Achtung Magazine presents Museumsreifeprüfung, a fashion editorial series captured by photographer Ralph Mecke. The project draws a dialogue between contemporary sartorial silhouettes and traditional fine art settings, balancing structured tailoring against historical museum architecture. Fashion Editor and Stylist Christiane Arp curates a selection of leather, lace, and exaggerated shirting to anchor the series, with casting directed by Hien Le. Model Smilla Herbst features throughout, grounded by soft light and a clean, monochromatic aesthetic that highlights the textures of the apparel against gilded frames and gallery portraiture.
Project Achtung Magazine · Go See for Sepp
Achtung Magazine's Go See for Sepp is a dynamic editorial project that merges athletic elements with high-fashion sensibilities. Photographed by Julia von der Heide, the series juxtaposes studio-captured imagery against outdoor location shots, creating a versatile visual narrative across the spreads. Featuring models Charlotte Nolting and Hella Thomale, the imagery explores a clean, sporty aesthetic. The production leans into a saturated color palette and employs natural light to define the subjects against both vivid backdrops and urban environments, utilising analogue film techniques to build texture throughout the editorial.
Project Achtung Magazine · Überstunden im Unterhaus
Achtung Magazine presents "Überstunden im Unterhaus," a conceptual fashion editorial that explores office-themed surrealism through a sharp, observational lens. Photographer Michael Ullrich and fashion editor Markus Ebner construct a series of high-contrast, atmospheric scenes that juxtapose corporate tropes with theatrical staging. From precarious stacks of conference chairs to golden-curtained vignettes, the series uses clean lighting and deliberate composition to elevate formal menswear and tailored attire. The project leans into a mix of chiaroscuro techniques and warmer, analogue-inflected portraits to define its cinematic mood. Featuring model Karl Heinz Hirschberger, the work maintains a consistent, enigmatic aesthetic across multiple layouts, blending artistic portraiture with structured, minimalist environments.
