Project Luncheon Magazine · Luncheon Magazine May 2026 Cover
The May 2026 cover of Luncheon Magazine serves as a masterclass in modern fashion editorial, blending avant-garde sensibilities with the timeless rigor of high-contrast portraiture. By seamlessly weaving together the architectural prowess of Fecal Matter’s garment designs with the keen eye of photographer Jordan Hemingway, the project transcends traditional magazine imagery to create a cohesive, sculptural narrative. The series leans into a stark, minimalist aesthetic, often utilizing low-key chiaroscuro lighting to emphasize the intricate tailoring and dramatic silhouettes of the clothing, ranging from voluminous tulle ballgowns to structured, edgy satin ensembles. Whether captured through the deliberate, film-like grain of 35mm analogue photography or the sharp, clinical precision of studio strobes, each frame acts as a study in form and texture. The inclusion of models like Debra Shaw and Coco Labbee, paired with the theatrical presence of actor Renata Litvinova, reinforces a sense of intentional, evocative storytelling. From the raw, textured intimacy of the black and white portraits to the ethereal quality of the floral-adorned gowns, the work feels both subversive and classically elevated. Supported by the precise casting direction of Tanguy Gavignet and Tom Goddard, as well as the polished grooming of hair stylist Gabriel de Fries, this editorial collection captures a sophisticated tension between the garment as art and the subject as a living, breathing component of that architecture.
Project Luncheon Magazine · Luncheon Magazine #21 S/S 2026 Covers
Luncheon Magazine continues its tradition of pushing the boundaries of contemporary visual storytelling with its #21 S/S 2026 cover series. This latest iteration in the magazines, media, and entertainment sector functions as a masterclass in editorial portraiture, deftly bridging the gap between high-concept experimental fashion and timeless photography. The project leans into a raw, tactile aesthetic, most notably through a striking portrait of Saskia de Brauw. Captured by photographer Jordan Hemingway, the image utilizes low-key chiaroscuro lighting and cinematic composition, shot on analogue film to emphasize the sculptural, voluminous drapery of the garment. This deliberate focus on depth and mystery provides a sharp, sophisticated contrast to the issue's second cover, which employs a crisp studio strobe technique to illuminate the intricate layers of a tulle ballgown. Throughout the series, the influence of fashion editor and stylist Léopold Duchemin is palpable, with the visual narrative feeling both composed and fiercely avant-garde. By integrating the work of set designer Léonard Bougault and hair and makeup experts, the editorial team successfully establishes a dialogue between form, fabric, and texture. The result is a publication that feels less like a traditional periodical and more like a curated gallery of portraiture, reaffirming Luncheon as a vital platform for artists who view the page as a canvas for experimental fashion design.
Project Luncheon Magazine · Paolo by Paolo
In the latest collaboration for Luncheon Magazine, Paolo Roversi delivers a masterful study of form and narrative with the project Paolo by Paolo. This striking fashion editorial leans into the intersection of fine art and high-end apparel, showcasing model Saskia de Brauw draped in an array of deconstructed, layered garments that challenge traditional silhouettes. Working alongside fashion editor Léopold Duchemin, Roversi employs a deliberate low-key chiaroscuro lighting technique to carve the subject out of the darkness, emphasizing the raw, tactile nature of distressed fabrics. The visual language of the shoot is inherently cinematic, utilizing studio strobe lighting and dramatic shadow play to highlight the sculptural headpieces and architectural styling provided by the creative team, including contributions from set designer Léonard Bougault. With the expert hair styling of Yumiko Hikage and the nuanced makeup artistry of Aurore Gibrien, each frame transcends typical industry imagery, reading as a contemplative, almost ethereal meditation on texture and form. The casting, curated by Chouaib Arif, perfectly complements the avant-garde aesthetic, as de Brauw embodies a sense of quiet movement within the project's moody void. By prioritizing organic, weathered textures over polished perfection, this editorial pushes the boundaries of luxury fashion, inviting viewers to engage with the intricate, frayed details of the design through a sophisticated, monochromatic lens that feels both timeless and aggressively modern.
Project Luncheon Magazine · LUNCHEON SS26
LUNCHEON SS26 serves as a masterclass in modern editorial photography, blending high-concept fashion with an intimate, lived-in aesthetic. Across the series, photographer Alex Huanfa Cheng captures a narrative that fluctuates between the surreal and the mundane, utilizing natural light to ground the styling by Shotaro Yamaguchi. The project leans into a distinctive editorial minimalism, where architectural details—from ornate Parisian streetscapes to soft, minimalist interiors—act as a deliberate stage for sculptural silhouettes. With creative input from set designer Pierre-Alexandre Fillaire, the imagery emphasizes tactile texture, juxtaposing sheer tulle, metallic corsetry, and velvet against raw, organic elements like preserved wildlife and intricate egg displays. Featuring a diverse cast including models Isa Chagas and Mountaga Diop, the campaign excels in its use of analogue and medium format techniques to imbue the portraits with a cinematic, grainy depth. By weaving together high-fashion sensibilities with raw, candid moments, the visual storytelling feels both curated and effortlessly authentic. The interplay of soft, diffused lighting and unexpected compositions creates an atmosphere of quiet reflection, positioning this season’s editorial as a sophisticated exploration of identity and form. It is a refined, textured portrait of contemporary lifestyle fashion that manages to feel timeless despite its avant-garde tendencies, marking a definitive creative turn for the brand's evolving visual language.

The visual language leans into a moody chiaroscuro aesthetic, utilizing long exposure techniques and dramatic light to bridge the gap between reality and fantasy. Fashion editor Ellie Grace Cumming anchors the series with voluminous gowns and shredded fabric textures, while hair by Soichi Inagaki and makeup by Laura Dominique contribute to the ethereal, pale beauty direction. With casting by Noah Shelley and manicures by Abena Robinson, the project presents a meticulously crafted sequence of monochromatic, cinematic portraits that evoke a raw, tactile sense of performance.
