This week's top Common Language projects, carefully handpicked by Visie's expert curators, showcase the best in style and innovation.
Project Common Language · Common Language June 2026 Cover
The latest cover story for Common Language presents a masterclass in editorial fashion photography, where high-contrast tension meets a refined, contemporary aesthetic. Captured through the lens of photographer Kévin Drelon, the session leans into the stark minimalism that has become a hallmark of the publication. The visual narrative centers on model Luna Passos, whose presence is defined by a calculated balance between futuristic edge and classic luxury. Styled by Daliah Spiegel, the wardrobe choices—ranging from lace-trimmed silhouettes with dramatic cut-outs to quilted textures—provide a tactile richness that anchors the clean studio environment. The technical execution relies heavily on the use of sharp studio strobe lighting and a controlled flash, which serves to accentuate the interplay of light and shadow across the model's features and the intricate garment details. With precision hair styling by Roger Cho and nuanced makeup artistry by Lisa Michalik, the imagery avoids over-processing in favor of a polished, high-definition clarity. By marrying structured, bold serif typography with this sophisticated portraiture, the project reinforces its place within the elite sphere of luxury fashion houses. The result is a cohesive, forward-thinking visual identity that successfully highlights the craft behind every stitch and shadow, delivering a cover that is as much about the editorial process as it is about the transient nature of modern style.
Project Common Language · Common Language December 2024 Cover ART OF THE BODY
Common Language features model Isabel Thuma for its December 2024 'Art of the Body' cover. This fashion project leans into an editorial aesthetic, utilizing soft directional lighting against a neutral grey studio backdrop to highlight the textures of lace-trimmed undergarments and bodywear. The session was captured by photographer Arash Khaksari, with fashion styling by Fanny Ourevitch. The production is supported by hair styling from Tosh and makeup artistry by Jenneke Croubels.
Project Common Language · Photography Laura Marie Cieplik
Common Language presents an expansive fashion editorial series captured by photographer Laura Marie Cieplik. The project traverses a range of moods and environments, oscillating between high-contrast monochrome studio portraiture and ethereal, natural-light outdoor photography. Throughout the series, the imagery leans into a tactile, surreal aesthetic, utilizing varied textures—from delicate lace and sheer knitwear to dried botanicals and pearls—to construct its visual narrative. Collaborating closely with fashion editor and stylist Hollie Williamson, the work emphasizes sculptural silhouettes and intricate styling. Hair stylist Olivier Noraz and makeup artist Lisa Michalik contribute to the series' polished yet gritty depth, employing techniques such as hard light to carve facial features and directional soft light to highlight fabric details. The collection includes editorial compositions that range from candid, playful moments to moody, low-key scenes, often utilizing analogue-inspired grain to heighten the intimacy of the portraiture.
