The series leans into clean, editorial compositions, utilizing soft, diffused lighting and varied gradient backgrounds to anchor the intricate patterns worn by model Peng Chang. Photographer Agnes Lloyd-Platt captures a range of textures, from dense floral motifs to high-contrast polka dots and red plaid. With fashion styling by Harry Lambert and hair and makeup by Naoki Komiya and Kristina Ralph Andrews, the project maintains a consistent aesthetic across its vertical framing.

Project British Vogue · British Vogue May 2025 Covers
British Vogue’s May 2025 covers feature entertainer Billie Eilish in an editorial spread that leans into a surreal, cinematic aesthetic. Captured by photographer Johnny Dufort, the series across the publication's covers and interior features frames Eilish against sparse, rural landscapes and vintage automotive elements. Fashion styling by Taylor Mcneill anchors the visual narrative, moving through layered textures and oversized silhouettes. The production incorporates deliberate shifts in atmosphere, transitioning from the crisp clarity of natural light in open meadows to moody, high-contrast flash lighting for nocturnal roadside portraits. The project, overseen by head of editorial content Chioma Nnadi, includes contributions from hair stylist Benjamin Mohapi, makeup artist Emily Cheng, manicurist Erin Moffett, and set designer Nicholas des Jardins. Wes Olson served as producer for the shoot.
Project British Vogue · TREAT YOURSELF
In the vibrant and meticulously curated feature titled Treat Yourself, British Vogue explores the intersection of high-fashion aesthetics and everyday wellness culture. The editorial spread, captured through the expert lens of photographer Otto Masters, transforms the mundane act of collecting goods into a study of color theory and consumer lifestyle. By leaning into a maximalist visual language, the project organizes an eclectic mix of sportswear, luxury beauty, and organic produce into a singular, cohesive narrative of indulgence. The composition relies on a daring, saturated palette of coral, pink, and deep red, which effectively creates a rhythmic visual tension. Masters employs hard flash photography to carve out sharp, dramatic shadows against a rustic, dark wooden backdrop, grounding the otherwise ethereal products in a tactile reality. The styling choices—juxtaposing the utilitarian appeal of Nike running gear and Alo accessories against the artisanal refinement of Byredo fragrance and fresh rhubarb—suggest a lifestyle that blurs the lines between athletic performance and decadent self-care. Through this striking editorial lens, the imagery functions as a high-concept celebration of modern retail, where the shopping basket itself becomes a curated canvas for contemporary desire. The project masterfully bridges the gap between commercial product photography and art-forward magazine aesthetics, delivering a refreshing perspective on the items that define our personal routines in a hyper-styled media environment.
Project British Vogue · Nicole Kidman
The September 2026 issue of British Vogue commands attention by stripping back the artifice of high-concept fashion to embrace a grounded, sophisticated editorial aesthetic. Featuring actress Nicole Kidman as the central cover star, the portrait leans into a polished yet approachable lifestyle sensibility that feels both immediate and timeless. Photographer Venetia Scott captures Kidman in a candid moment within a neutral-toned, lived-in interior, eschewing overly theatrical studio lighting for a frame that channels genuine presence. This live-action technique relies on the synergy between the subject and her surroundings, carefully curated by set designer Rosie Turnbull to ensure the domestic backdrop complements rather than distracts from the vibrant, color-blocked ensemble. Fashion editor and stylist Poppy Kain anchors the look with a masterful pairing of bold, high-collar knitwear and classic straight-leg denim, signaling a return to wearable, high-end commercial appeal. The cohesive vision is further elevated by the deliberate styling choices of hair stylist Adir Abergel, who frames the portrait with signature loose waves, and makeup artist Fulvia Farolfi, who opts for a clean, luminous palette that emphasizes Kidman's direct engagement with the viewer. By balancing traditional publication gravitas with a modern, relaxed humanity, this September cover successfully navigates the intersection of aspirational fashion and cultural relevance, proving that the most enduring editorial imagery is often found in the quiet, precise alignment of style, character, and expert composition.
Project British Vogue · Declan Rice: Vogue Meets Football (A ...
British Vogue redefines the intersection of elite athletics and high fashion in this striking editorial feature, Declan Rice: Vogue Meets Football. Eschewing the typical high-octane stadium energy associated with professional sports, this portrait series instead opts for a serene, pastoral narrative that highlights the footballer's versatility and presence beyond the pitch. Photographers Sean and Seng masterfully utilize the garden as a stage, framing Rice amidst blooming cherry blossoms and textured, weathered stone, which grounds the subject in a quiet, organic elegance. Fashion editor Gerry O'Kane anchors the visual identity, curating a minimalist ensemble that ranges from structured utility shirts to the sophisticated sharpness of a black tuxedo, effectively bridging the gap between rugged utility and high-end formal wear. The shoot leans into editorial minimalism, with each composition emphasizing soft, natural light to create an intimate atmosphere that feels both cinematic and grounded. By pairing the clean lines of a dark turtleneck or double-breasted blazer against the backdrop of overgrown meadows and formal hedging, the team avoids traditional athletic tropes in favor of a timeless, contemplative aesthetic. With refined grooming from stylist Liz Taw providing the finishing polish, the project serves as a compelling exploration of identity, showcasing a rare, composed side of a global sporting icon within the prestigious framework of a luxury media title.
Project British Vogue · British Vogue August 2026 Cover
For the British Vogue August 2026 issue, the magazine unveils a masterclass in editorial portraiture that marries historical resonance with contemporary fashion. Featuring actor Daisy Edgar-Jones on the cover, the project leans into a cinematic, painterly quality that defines the visual language of the entire spread. Captured by photographer Szilveszter Mako, the series utilizes both natural light and studio strobe techniques to heighten the dramatic contrast against deep blue and charcoal textured backdrops. Fashion editor and stylist Tabitha Simmons curates a wardrobe that bridges centuries, blending Elizabethan-inspired ruffles and structured period garments with modern, sharp tailoring. The narrative is further elevated by the deliberate set design of David Curtis-Ring, whose use of recurring motifs—such as vibrant apples, vintage lace, and framed canine portraiture—creates a cohesive, almost surrealist atmosphere. Complementing the styling, the beauty direction by hair stylist Cyndia Harvey and makeup artist Ammy Drammeh provides a clean, composed aesthetic that keeps the focus firmly on the rich tactile details of the clothing. By weaving together elements of classical oil painting and sharp high-fashion photography, the project serves as a sophisticated exploration of texture and mood, proving that even within the standardized format of a magazine cover, there is profound space for layered, visual storytelling that remains both timeless and unmistakably current.
Project British Vogue · Circle Of Friends
British Vogue’s latest editorial spread, Circle Of Friends, masterfully captures the essence of contemporary heritage through a lens of surrealist pastoralism. Photographed by Andrew Nuding, the project leans into a refined, cinematic aesthetic that elevates luxury fashion by juxtaposing high-end garments against expansive, raw natural landscapes. Stylist Harry Lambert curates an eclectic array of textures—from heavy wools and rugged leather jackets to delicate silks and metallic embroidery—creating a tactile narrative that celebrates communal connection in the open wild. The inclusion of actor Bella Ramsey as part of the ensemble reinforces the narrative’s focus on authentic, youthful camaraderie, while hair stylist Sophie Jane Anderson and makeup artist Bea Sweet ensure that the aesthetic remains grounded in a lived-in, natural beauty. By placing domestic elements like vintage sofas directly into flowing rivers and open fields, the imagery creates a deliberate, evocative tension between the familiar and the surreal. The use of soft natural light throughout the series allows the layering of fabrics to shine, resulting in a cohesive editorial study that feels both grounded and dreamlike. Through this masterful execution, the project successfully defines a modern visual language for high fashion that feels as much about the spirit of the collective as it does about the precision of the design.
Project British Vogue · Zoë Kravitz by Mikael Jansson
In this commanding feature for British Vogue, photographer Mikael Jansson captures actor Zoë Kravitz with an intensity that bridges the gap between high-fashion editorial and raw, cinematic portraiture. Through a series of carefully composed images, the project navigates a spectrum of textures, from the intricate lace and voluminous faux fur to the sharp, industrial lines of warehouse backdrops and urban rooftops. Jansson leverages both the immediacy of natural light and the dramatic control of studio strobe lighting to emphasize Kravitz's silhouette, often leaning into the stark elegance of black-and-white photography to highlight intricate details like her skin art and the movement of layered fringe garments. The collaborative spirit of the shoot is evident in the precise styling by Julia Sarr-Jamois, which anchors each frame in luxury fashion, while the hair styling by Nikki Nelms and makeup by Nina Park lend a polished, editorial finish. Set design by Ibby Njoya adds layers of structural depth, transforming simple backdrops into dynamic environments that command the viewer's attention. Ultimately, this body of work functions as an exploration of presence, utilizing high-key lighting to pull out subtle facets of the subject's expression. By balancing spontaneity with rigorous professional craft, the feature solidifies a bold narrative, demonstrating how luxury fashion media can effectively harmonize classic magazine portrait techniques with contemporary, expressive movement.
Project British Vogue · Jerry Hall At 70: “Life Is Quite Har ...
In this striking editorial portrait series for British Vogue, photographer Charlotte Wales captures the iconic Jerry Hall at 70, celebrating a career defined by enduring magnetism and agility. The project functions as a masterful exercise in studio portraiture, leaning into a dynamic, movement-first aesthetic that defies conventional expectations of age and stillness. Through the lens of Wales, Hall is presented not as a retrospective subject, but as a vibrant force, frequently caught in motion by the strategic use of fans and high-fashion choreography. The visual narrative relies heavily on studio strobe lighting to emphasize the texture of structural garments, ranging from architectural trench coats to fluid, leopard-print ensembles styled by Robbie Spencer. The interplay of chiaroscuro-inspired black-and-white shots and high-key color photography creates a rhythmic visual progression, while the editorial minimalism of the neutral studio backdrops ensures that every silhouette remains the focal point. With meticulous contributions from hair stylist Alex Brownsell, makeup artist Mel Arter, and the intentional set design of Alice Kirkpatrick, the series channels a sophisticated, live-action technique that feels both timeless and urgent. These images serve as a testament to the collaborative power of the creative team, transforming a milestone birthday feature into a masterclass in fashion photography that feels as spirited and energetic as the subject herself.
Project British Vogue · Dress Circle
British Vogue creates a hauntingly beautiful dialogue between heritage fashion and contemporary art in its Dress Circle project, an editorial feature that pushes the boundaries of luxury fashion. Through a sophisticated lens, the project highlights the interplay of light and shadow, leaning into a moody, conceptual aesthetic that feels both theatrical and deeply grounded. Photographer William Waterworth masterfully employs studio strobe and medium format techniques to elevate the sculptural silhouettes of high-fashion garments, transforming each frame into a study of texture and form. The visual narrative relies on a deliberate contrast between the gritty, distressed surfaces of the sets and the ethereal delicacy of white tulle, accordion pleats, and intricate lace, further emphasized by a striking low-key chiaroscuro approach. With fashion curation by Tabitha Simmons, the editorial brings together a compelling ensemble including Karen Elson and Jean Campbell, who inhabit these architectural spaces with a quiet, powerful presence. Hair stylist Ali Pirzadeh and makeup artist Miranda Joyce contribute to the ethereal, refined look, ensuring every detail of the hair and face complements the dramatic, cinematic lighting. By placing the subjects within dark, minimalist structures, the work challenges the traditional bounds of portraiture, resulting in a refined series that feels less like a typical fashion spread and more like an immersive, high-fashion art installation that captures the evolving spirit of luxury design.
Project British Vogue · British Vogue: Sadie Sink and Noah Jupe
British Vogue captures the palpable creative chemistry between rising stars Sadie Sink and Noah Jupe in this intimate editorial portrait series. Eschewing the high-octane polish often associated with major media campaigns, photographer Polly Brown leans into a grounded, cinematic aesthetic that prioritizes authentic connection over artifice. The imagery, defined by its soft, natural light, explores a range of moods from playful, candid lifestyle snapshots to contemplative, ethereal close-ups. With styling by Jessica Gerardi, the visual narrative feels cohesive yet dynamic, utilizing texture-rich knitwear and subtle vintage-inspired sets designed by Grace Snellock to ground the subjects in a warm, domestic reality. The work benefits significantly from the meticulous grooming detail provided by hair stylist Stelios Chondros and manicurist Robbie Tomkins, which accentuates the editorial minimalism of the final frames. Whether through the dreamlike quality of a portrait pressed against frosted glass or the charming spontaneity of Sink and Jupe sharing a meal, the project functions as a masterclass in modern celebrity storytelling. By blending natural light with intentional, tactile composition, the team manages to strip away the distance between the viewer and the talent, resulting in a series of portraits that feel profoundly human, honest, and refreshingly tactile within the fast-paced landscape of contemporary entertainment media.
Project British Vogue · She Will Rock You
For the May 2026 cover story of British Vogue, titled She Will Rock You, photographer Rafael Pavarotti delivers a masterclass in mood and texture, capturing Charli XCX in a series that bridges the gap between raw musical energy and high-fashion editorial. The project leans heavily into a high-contrast aesthetic, utilizing low-key chiaroscuro lighting and cinematic framing to transform the entertainer into a series of statuesque, near-sculptural forms. With fashion direction from Kate Phelan, the styling emphasizes tactile juxtapositions—pairing intricate fishnet fabrics and sleek leather trench coats with voluminous, wind-swept hair crafted by Eugene Souleiman. The makeup artistry by Ana Takahashi, particularly the striking electric blue accents, provides a sharp, modern punctuation against the series' predominantly monochromatic, moody palette. By integrating set elements like weathered stone and overgrown organic structures designed by Ibby Njoya, the imagery creates a narrative of atmospheric tension. Whether captured through the deliberate use of natural light or precise studio strobe work, the portraits feel both grounded and otherworldly. This editorial package is a testament to the power of collaborative visual storytelling, stripping back the noise to highlight the interplay of shadow, silhouette, and high-fashion attitude while solidifying a bold, modern vision for the publication that feels entirely consistent with XCX’s own evolving creative brand.
