Project Elle Canada · Niki Taylor on Longevity, Authentici ...
In this sophisticated fashion editorial for Elle Canada, photographer Zach Phan masterfully captures the enduring elegance of supermodel Niki Taylor, presenting a series of portraits that balance timeless grace with modern structural rigor. The project explores themes of longevity and authenticity within the high-fashion industry, utilizing a diverse range of lighting techniques—from natural light and high-key clarity to the dramatic intensity of low-key chiaroscuro—to elevate the subject. Stylist Randy Smith anchors the narrative through a precise selection of monochromatic palettes and tactile materials, juxtaposing the soft, voluminous textures of tulle and fur against the sharp, architectural lines of tailored blazers and leather opera gloves. Rafael Estrella Dunn complements this vision with sleek, intentional hair styling that draws the viewer's eye directly to the interplay of shape and form. Across these images, the work reads as both a cinematic tribute to Taylor's career and a masterclass in contemporary editorial portraiture. By leaning into both stark white studio minimalism and moody, polished dark backdrops, the production creates a visual dialogue between past and present, ensuring that every piece of high-fashion attire acts as an extension of the model's commanding presence. The result is a series of images that feel remarkably fresh yet deeply respectful of traditional editorial heritage, reinforcing the collaborative power of expert lens work and refined styling.
Project Elle Canada · Ladylike
Ladylike is a fashion editorial series for Elle Canada, defined by a deliberate fusion of retro silhouettes and industrial textures. The project features model Agel Akol, whose sculpted vintage-inspired hair and distinct styling evoke a nostalgic aesthetic set against urban, weathered backdrops. Photographer Samuel Fournier captures the narrative through a series of vertical compositions that emphasize textile depth and clean color blocking. Creative director and stylist Olivia Leblanc orchestrates the looks, pairing intricate lace and sequin details with structural garments, while hair and makeup by Steven Turpin maintain a polished, high-contrast finish. The work relies on natural light to underscore the tactile qualities of the wardrobe, ranging from tweed and velvet to shaggy shearling.
Project Elle Canada · Charlotte's Web
Elle Canada presents Charlotte's Web, a fashion editorial feature showcasing actor Charlotte Le Bon. Captured across a series of studio and architectural locations, the project explores a tailored, menswear-inspired aesthetic through oversized suiting, structured coats, and layered separates. The imagery leans into clean composition and minimalist framing to highlight fabric textures and silhouettes. Photographer and creative director Royal Gilbert employs a consistent approach to light, moving between soft natural daylight against textured concrete and travertine walls to crisp studio lighting against vibrant backdrops. Fashion styling by Jonathan Huguet emphasizes volume and detail, complemented by natural makeup artistry by Leslie Ann Thomson.
Project Elle Canada · Far and Away
Far and Away, a fashion editorial series for Elle Canada, navigates the intersection of rugged coastal architecture and refined garment textures. Captured by photographer Royal Gilbert, the project leans into a warm, atmospheric aesthetic, utilizing natural light to highlight the organic interplay between stark stone, calm water, and the intricate details of sculptural fashion pieces. The series features model Nataly Vieira, whose presence is anchored by casting direction from Alexandre Junior Cyprien and minimalist makeup by Akari Sugino. Whether set against sprawling seaside cliffs or within quiet, sun-drenched interiors, the imagery employs soft golden hour tones and varied film-inspired textures to maintain a cohesive, cinematic narrative across the production.
Project Elle Canada · SOPHIE NELISSE
Elle Canada features actor Sophie Nélisse in this editorial spread, showcasing a range of avant-garde and structured fashion silhouettes. Photographer Royal Gilbert and fashion stylist Olivia Leblanc collaborate to move between clean studio compositions and high-contrast, monochrome portraiture.
