This week's top Elle Kazakhstan projects, carefully handpicked by Visie's expert curators, showcase the best in style and innovation.
Project Elle Kazakhstan · Золотой век
Zolotoy Vek is a fashion editorial feature for Elle Kazakhstan, captured by photographer Daniil Kudryavtsev. The project leans into an experimental, theatrical aesthetic, utilising moody lighting and analogue film techniques to frame avant-garde silhouettes against classical architectural backdrops. The layout maintains a minimalist editorial structure, integrating high-contrast monochrome portraits alongside desaturated colour compositions. The series emphasizes texture and geometry, drawing focus to sculptural garments and metallic textiles through clean, cinematic framing.
Project Elle Kazakhstan · Have Fun and Look Hot
Have Fun and Look Hot for Elle Kazakhstan presents a masterclass in high-fashion juxtaposition, placing the elevated art of couture within the gritty, utilitarian confines of a shipping yard. Through the lens of photographer Anastasia Fursova, the project leans into a documentary-style aesthetic that finds harmony between soft, luxurious textiles and the raw geometry of industrial environments. Featuring model Batura Aliaksandra, the campaign channels a sense of spirited defiance, pairing voluminous white feathered skirts and sheer floral dresses against a backdrop of stacked red, blue, and purple containers. The visual narrative relies heavily on natural light to emphasize texture, from the intricate weave of tweed jackets to the unconventional, avant-garde use of bubble wrap as a styling element. By framing the subject through shattered glass or against the stark, ribbed metal of cargo walls, the imagery builds a compelling tension that reads as both sophisticated and intentionally disruptive. This editorial collection avoids traditional polish in favor of dynamic movement and textural depth, successfully bridging the gap between luxury fashion houses and the rugged reality of a logistics hub. With its bold color palettes and high-contrast styling, the project serves as a compelling study in how to maintain an editorial edge when working within unconventional, industrial spaces.
Project Elle Kazakhstan · Metropolitan Rhapsody
In Metropolitan Rhapsody, a fashion editorial for Elle Kazakhstan, photographer Anastasia Fursova masterfully captures the dynamic intersection of high-concept luxury fashion and classical urban architecture. Featuring model Daga Jez, the series presents an exploration of volume, texture, and vibrant color palettes set against the backdrop of historic stone archways and modern city streetscapes. Each frame leans into a cinematic visual language where the subject’s sculptural silhouettes—ranging from oversized, ruffled lime green coats to voluminous pleated maxi skirts—provide a bold counterpoint to the neutral, neoclassical surroundings. Through the consistent use of natural light, the imagery emphasizes the tactile quality of the fabrics, highlighting intricate leopard prints, feathered trims, and complex patterned ensembles that define the season’s eccentric aesthetic. The compositions often utilize geometric framing, with the subject positioned precisely within grand archways or beside ornate stone statuary to heighten the sense of scale and elegance. By balancing avant-garde styling with the rigid, somber lines of the city, the project functions as a visual conversation between the spontaneity of contemporary lifestyle photography and the timeless rigor of high-end editorial fashion. The result is a polished, cohesive narrative that feels both grounded in its urban reality and elevated by its theatrical, sophisticated execution, cementing the editorial’s status as a striking showcase of modern luxury craftsmanship.
Project Elle Kazakhstan · FOR SEVEN NIGHTS, THIS CASTLE IS MINE
For Seven Nights, This Castle Is Mine, a compelling editorial project for Elle Kazakhstan, presents a striking dialogue between high-fashion couture and the raw, unrefined decay of a historic manor house. Captured through the lens of photographer Anastasia Fursova with art direction by Alex Klop, the campaign leans into a cinematic aesthetic that juxtaposes voluminous, architectural silhouettes against peeling plaster and weathered stone. Fashion editor and stylist Yulia Ivanova skillfully contrasts metallic textures and dramatic puff sleeves with the muted, rustic backdrop of the crumbling estate, ensuring each look feels both contemporary and grounded in a historical atmosphere. Model Batura Aliaksandra carries this narrative with poise, moving through the space in outfits that range from structured, military-inspired jackets to ethereal, ruffled skirts. Many of the portraits utilize natural light to emphasize the interplay between the intricate, graphic makeup and the decaying environment, creating a visual tension that feels intentional and evocative. By leveraging editorial portraiture and low-key chiaroscuro lighting, the team creates a moody, immersive experience where the clothing serves as an extension of the architectural decay. This collaboration succeeds by grounding experimental fashion within a tactile, lived-in world, ultimately delivering a series that reads as a sophisticated exploration of heritage, volume, and texture.
Project Elle Kazakhstan · MIDDLE AGES
In the latest editorial project for Elle Kazakhstan titled MIDDLE AGES, photographer Daniil Kudryavtsev delivers a sharp, visually arresting exploration of historical aesthetic influence meeting contemporary luxury fashion. Featuring model Sofia Mathiassen, the series leans into a high-fashion interpretation of medieval sartorial history, juxtaposing delicate chainmail overlays and voluminous silhouettes against a stark, minimalist studio backdrop. The collection utilizes a distinct visual language, alternating between the clinical precision of studio strobe lighting to emphasize the textured tulle and dark beading, and a more tempered approach with natural light to highlight the sculptural integrity of the garments. The result is a series that reads as both an architectural study and a bold editorial statement, with the interplay of exaggerated shoulder panels and metallic fringe providing a modern, almost avant-garde edge to the classical references. By pairing intricate metalwork with the model's stark, bleached-blonde buzzcut, the project creates a deliberate friction between the ancient and the hyper-modern. Each portrait demonstrates a masterful command of silhouette and shadow, effectively transforming the subject into a living sculpture. This editorial work reinforces a commitment to high-concept fashion photography, where the mastery of lighting and styling techniques elevates the garments beyond simple apparel, grounding them firmly within the sophisticated, art-driven landscape of modern luxury fashion publishing.
Project Elle Kazakhstan · Middle AGES
In the latest editorial spread for Elle Kazakhstan, titled Middle AGES, the intersection of historical grandeur and contemporary minimalism takes center stage. Photographed by Daniil Kudryavtsev, this fashion editorial reimagines luxury through a lens of sharp, architectural precision. The project leans into a high-contrast aesthetic that draws the viewer’s eye toward the intricate interplay between ornate statement jewelry and clean, structural garment design. Featuring model Paulina Bricca, the series relies on a deliberate use of natural light and studio strobe techniques to articulate the tactile qualities of sequins, metallic chain-fringe, and heavy gold-tone filigree against stark backgrounds. By opting for a low-key chiaroscuro approach in several portraits, Kudryavtsev emphasizes a cinematic mood that elevates the avant-garde styling of the wardrobe. The editorial minimalism found throughout the series allows the sculptural forms of capes and utility-inspired silhouettes to anchor the narrative, grounding the high-fashion concept in a sense of timelessness. Each frame feels like a study in portraiture, where the subject’s bleached-blonde buzz cut serves as a canvas for exploring the bold tension between soft human form and the rigid, metallic elements of modern luxury. This collaboration successfully captures the evolving identity of the luxury fashion industry, prioritizing texture and structural depth to deliver a visual experience that is both evocative and meticulously composed.
Project Elle Kazakhstan · Attention PLEASE!
Attention PLEASE! is a sophisticated fashion editorial produced for Elle Kazakhstan that masterfully explores the intersection of architectural structure and soft, tactile minimalism. Through the lens of photographer Lena Melnik, the project leans into a high-contrast monochromatic visual language that elevates classic tailoring to a modern art form. Working in collaboration with fashion editor and stylist Aleksandra Markovic, the imagery channels a rigorous focus on silhouettes, from oversized pinstripe coats and structured plaid blazers to the subtle, clean lines of midi skirts and mohair sweaters. The editorial relies on a disciplined interplay of light, utilizing natural light and deliberate studio strobe setups to accentuate fabric textures—pebble-grained leather, rich knitwear, and structured suede—against stark, seamless backgrounds. With hair styling by Rei Kawauchi and makeup by Deanna Melluso, the creative execution strikes a balance between professional restraint and dynamic movement. The project, which utilizes both high-key and chiaroscuro techniques, creates a cohesive narrative that emphasizes the interplay of neutral tones and bold accessories. Each frame feels deliberate, oscillating between poised, static portraiture and animated, mid-motion lifestyle captures. By focusing on geometric form and an elevated color palette, Attention PLEASE! reinforces a minimalist aesthetic that feels both timely and timeless, showcasing a refined approach to contemporary luxury fashion.
Project Elle Kazakhstan · O tempora, O MORES
O tempora, O MORES is a fashion editorial series for Elle Kazakhstan, showcasing an exploration of high-contrast portraiture and graphic composition. Captured by photographer Daniil Kudryavtsev, the project features model Emmy Kruger across a series of studio-based portraits that navigate between moody, monochrome palettes and vibrant, saturated beauty imagery. Technically diverse, the shoot utilizes varied lighting setups—ranging from soft directional beauty light to direct flash—to emphasize textures of lace, faux fur, and knitwear. The editorial leans into surreal elements through airbrushed cosmetic application and multi-panel layouts, creating a rhythmic visual narrative throughout the magazine spreads.
Project Elle Kazakhstan · It's magic!
For the 'It's magic!' editorial feature, Elle Kazakhstan partners with photographer Daniil Kudryavtsev to explore themes of transformation and detail within beauty photography. The series spans a collection of portraiture that leans into a surreal and tactile aesthetic, utilizing techniques like long exposure and macro photography to shift focus between the human form and intricate ornamentation. Across the visuals, Kudryavtsev employs various lighting styles, ranging from moody, low-key chiaroscuro and diffused beauty light to natural illumination. These choices accentuate the contrast between organic elements—such as floral accents and freckled skin—and synthetic textures, including faceted beads, insect-inspired accessories, and bold, experimental makeup applications.
