Project Middle Plane Magazine · Wrapped in Plastic
In the provocative editorial series Wrapped in Plastic, Middle Plane Magazine recontextualizes the intersection of luxury fashion houses and the ubiquity of consumer waste. Under the creative direction of Bruce Usher, the project transforms mundane, disposable materials into high-fashion silhouettes, challenging the viewer to reconsider the value placed on branding and everyday ephemera. Captured through the lens of photographer Mark Kean, the series leans into a stark, conceptual aesthetic, utilizing studio strobe lighting to emphasize the crinkled textures and structural rigidity of plastic bags repurposed as garments. Fashion editor and stylist Jane How skillfully juxtaposes recognizable logos like Louis Vuitton and Supreme against the transparency of industrial plastics, creating a visual tension between status and obsolescence. The work is anchored by the presence of model Birgit Kos, whose neutral, direct delivery allows the garments to function as both sculpture and commentary. Technical details like the deliberate, vibrant green manicure by Saffron Goddard provide a singular point of color against monochromatic, high-key backgrounds. By alternating between natural light and clinical, bright studio setups, the project achieves an ethereal, experimental quality that blurs the line between high art and material reality. This series serves as a masterclass in editorial minimalism, demonstrating how discarded plastics can be elevated into a sophisticated narrative on identity, branding, and the cycle of consumption in contemporary fashion culture.
Project Middle Plane Magazine · Secrets Out
Secrets Out for Middle Plane Magazine serves as a masterclass in editorial fashion photography, where the interplay between the human subject and the organic landscape takes center stage. Captured through the lens of photographer Julie Greve, the series leans into a mood of quiet introspection, utilizing soft natural light to bridge the gap between high-fashion luxury and raw, outdoor environments. With creative oversight from fashion editor and stylist Bianca Raggi, the aesthetic choices prioritize tactile storytelling; heavy knit beanies, layered houndstooth blazers, and voluminous white dresses are set against the weathered, textural backdrops of bronze sculptures, dormant park foliage, and vast rock formations. Casting director Rachel Chandler brings a grounded, ethereal quality to the visuals, perfectly embodied by model Secret Snow, whose direct and calm gaze anchors the frames. By utilizing cinematic portrait techniques, the series avoids the static nature of traditional lookbooks, instead favoring a narrative-driven approach that celebrates the interplay of fabric and light. Each shot operates with a sense of deliberate minimalism, relying on the diffused atmosphere of an overcast day to accentuate the structural details of the garments. Ultimately, this project stands as a sophisticated exploration of seasonal fashion, where the simplicity of the natural world elevates the complexity of the wardrobe to create a compelling, cohesive visual identity.
Project Middle Plane Magazine · White Collar
White Collar, the latest editorial spread for Middle Plane Magazine, masterfully subverts the traditional white-shirt motif by exploring the intersection of high fashion and unexpected, tactile artifice. Through a series of striking portraits, the team crafts an intimate study of textures, where the pristine nature of the color palette meets the organic unpredictability of soap foam and hand-painted illustration. Photographer Frank Lebon leans into a deliberate, quiet aesthetic, utilizing natural light and high-key compositions to anchor the project in a clean, minimalist space. Stylist Marie Chaix punctuates these visuals with intricate details, such as the elaborate lace ruff that serves as both a structural anchor and a nod to historical costume. The interplay between the models, including the evocative presence of Ida Heiner, and the deliberate lack of artifice in the studio settings creates a tension that is simultaneously serene and provocative. With expert hair direction by Shiori Takahashi and precise makeup work by Mel Arter, the session employs a mix of analogue film and studio strobe lighting to elevate the portraits beyond standard fashion photography. The result is a cohesive narrative that trades conventional styling for a more conceptual, skin-focused approach to the white collar trope, ultimately delivering a refreshing perspective on editorial minimalism that feels both timeless and sharply contemporary.
