Project Elle Australia · Historical Reference
Historical Reference is a fashion editorial series for Elle Australia that explores the tension between structured tailoring and delicate lace. Photographed by Nicole Bentley, the project navigates between controlled studio environments and atmospheric coastal settings, balancing clean, architectural compositions with soft, natural light. Fashion Editor and Stylist Naomi Smith emphasizes textural contrast throughout the series, layering sheer lace ruffles against heavy leather and structured blazers. The work utilizes monochromatic grading and analogue film aesthetics to heighten the focus on garment details and subtle silhouettes, supported by hair styling from Koh.
Project Elle Australia · The Enchanting Lily-Rose Depp
In a masterclass of editorial portraiture for Elle Australia, photographer Camilla Akrans captures the enigmatic presence of actor Lily-Rose Depp through a lens that balances contemporary fashion with timeless cinematic allure. The series, curated as a high-concept beauty and fashion campaign, leans into a minimalist aesthetic that strips away visual noise to prioritize the interplay between texture and expression. Fashion editor and stylist Hortense Manga skillfully anchors the narrative in denim, using the utilitarian fabric to provide a tactile, grounded contrast to the elevated, often bold cosmetic applications executed by makeup artist Min Kim. The collaboration utilizes diverse technical approaches, shifting effortlessly between the sharp, clean precision of studio strobe lighting and the nostalgic, organic warmth of 35mm film, complete with raw edge borders that ground the imagery in the traditions of classic print media. Whether through vivid, monochromatic color palettes or the stark, high-contrast intimacy of black-and-white portrait work, the project emphasizes a deliberate, relaxed posture from Depp, whose gaze remains the focal point throughout. Hair stylist Alexandry Costa rounds out the creative vision, framing the subject with a soft, natural aesthetic that reinforces the editorial minimalist approach. This body of work succeeds by avoiding over-production, instead relying on the synergy between the talent and the technical artistry of the production team to create a definitive, cohesive statement on modern beauty.
Project Elle Australia · Suddenly Simone
In the vibrant fashion editorial titled Suddenly Simone for Elle Australia, actress Simone Ashley commands the frame through a series of evocative portraits that masterfully blend luxury fashion house aesthetics with candid lifestyle sensibilities. The project expertly navigates between the controlled, minimalist environment of studio strobe photography and the spontaneous energy of urban reportage, creating a compelling narrative that feels both aspirational and deeply grounded. By oscillating between high-key lighting, which emphasizes the plush textures of faux-fur garments and intricate lace detailing, and the moody, high-contrast intimacy of low-key chiaroscuro portraits, the imagery establishes a sophisticated visual dialogue. Whether Ashley is captured reclining on a shaggy rug or navigating a gritty subway station, the editorial remains anchored by its commitment to sharp, pointed-toe silhouettes and layered, statement jewelry. This synthesis of styles reveals a versatility in both the subject and the creative direction, leaning into a playful yet polished tone that feels quintessential for a modern fashion spread. The collection successfully bridges the gap between structured studio precision and the fluid movement of city life, ensuring that every frame serves as a testament to the art of contemporary portraiture while highlighting the tactile richness of the featured wardrobe.
