Project Harper's Bazaar Italia · Obliqua
Obliqua is a monochrome fashion editorial created for Harper’s Bazaar Italia, defined by its rigorous exploration of sculptural form and minimalist geometry. Photographed by Julien Martinez Leclerc, the series channels a gallery-like aesthetic, using stark studio lighting and chiaroscuro techniques to blur the boundaries between high-fashion portraiture and fine art. The narrative relies on the interaction between human subjects and organic, biomorphic props, such as oversized ceramic vessels and layered stone structures. Fashion editor and stylist Katie Burnett anchors the visual language with structured, avant-garde tailoring and intricate silhouettes, complemented by the clean, precise hair styling of Olivier Schawalder and makeup by Yadim. Sophear Van Froment’s set design is integral to the project, constructing an environment of seamless gradients and architectural shapes that prioritize tonal contrast and compositional balance.
Project Harper's Bazaar Italia · Gibellina
In Gibellina, a striking editorial project for Harper's Bazaar Italia, photographer Camille Vivier and fashion editor Maria Giulia Riva masterfully bridge the divide between high-end fashion and brutalist public art. The campaign functions as a dialogue between the tactile sophistication of luxury bags and accessories and the rugged, imposing geometry of architectural landscapes. By placing pieces from houses like Miu Miu and Saint Laurent against weathered concrete blocks, geometric reliefs, and swirling glass installations, the imagery channels a sense of deliberate contrast. The execution leans into a minimalist aesthetic, where the soft, porous textures of suede and leather are juxtaposed against the cold, unyielding nature of stone and metal. Through the lens of cinematic editorial photography, the project captures these objects not just as retail items, but as sculptural forms that hold their own against massive industrial structures. The use of natural light is pivotal throughout, creating deep shadows that emphasize the material grains and intricate hardware of the accessories. By eschewing over-styling, Vivier allows the interplay of organic and constructed elements to take center stage. Ultimately, Gibellina stands as a testament to the power of environmental context in fashion storytelling, proving that when the right eye captures the relationship between high fashion and the built world, the results are both evocative and intellectually resonant.
Project Harper's Bazaar Italia · March 2026 Issue
For the March 2026 issue of Harper's Bazaar Italia, photographer Chris Brooks delivers a masterful study of luxury through an editorial series that transcends traditional product photography. By placing iconic cosmetic and fragrance offerings from brands like Chanel, Gucci, Etro, and Cle de Peau Beaute into evocative, architectural settings, the project elevates commercial imagery into fine art. The series leans into editorial minimalism, utilizing natural light to harmonize the sleek, reflective surfaces of high-end packaging with the raw, tactile grit of weathered stone, mosaic tiles, and coastal landscapes. Each frame is meticulously composed, often employing macro techniques to emphasize the geometric precision of the products against backdrops of classical statues, historical reliefs, and rugged Mediterranean environments. This cinematic approach creates a visual dialogue between modern opulence and historical grandeur, where the beauty products become protagonists within a larger, atmospheric narrative. The work succeeds in blending lifestyle-focused storytelling with a sophisticated, textured aesthetic, proving that even the most mass-produced luxury items can be reimagined through a lens of artistic depth. By prioritizing light, shadow, and materiality, Brooks produces a cohesive visual language that feels both grounded in a specific, elegant sense of place and entirely aspirational, ultimately defining the aesthetic identity for the magazine’s latest seasonal editorial showcase.
