Project The Cut · Olivia Wilde Had to Disappear
For this striking feature in The Cut titled Olivia Wilde Had to Disappear, photographer Chloe Chippendale orchestrates a sophisticated visual narrative that masterfully balances high-fashion rigor with an intimate, candid sensibility. Within the landscape of Magazines, Media & Entertainment, the editorial portrait series captures actress Olivia Wilde through a lens of refined minimalism, utilizing a series of carefully curated ensembles—from sharp, gender-bending tuxedo tailoring to fluid, ivory-hued gowns. Chippendale employs a mix of natural light and moody, low-key chiaroscuro lighting to draw out the tactile quality of the fabrics against deep, mottled charcoal backgrounds, grounding the subject in a space that feels both cinematic and raw. The visual cohesion of the shoot is supported by the precise fashion styling of Jessica Willis, while hair stylist Mark Townsend and makeup artist Lilly Pollan lean into an aesthetic of effortless, wavy-haired grace that allows Wilde’s presence to command the frame. Whether she is captured in a mid-stride black-and-white sequence or posing amid vintage studio relics, the imagery functions as an exercise in editorial restraint. By stripping away extraneous noise, the project emphasizes a singular, composed silhouette, resulting in a series of images that feel simultaneously timeless and urgently modern, perfectly aligning with the magazine's reputation for elevated, personality-driven storytelling.
Project The Cut · Tom Ford x The Cut - L'IMPORTANT C'E ...
Luxury fashion house Tom Ford meets the sharp, journalistic lens of The Cut in this expansive editorial portrait series, which masterfully captures the essence of modern tailoring. By stripping away the noise of high-concept sets, photographers Louise & Maria Thornfeldt rely on studio strobe lighting and a crisp, high-key aesthetic to elevate the collection into a study of form and texture. The project leans into editorial minimalism, allowing the intricate details of each garment—from the sheen of cream-colored silk to the matte finish of structured leather—to take center stage against a stark, clean backdrop. Fashion editor Gerry O'Kane orchestrates a sophisticated visual narrative, bridging the gap between high-fashion commercial polish and intimate portraiture. Through the hair styling of Gabriel de Fries and precise makeup artistry by Tatsu Yamanaka, the diverse cast, including Indya Moore, Lou Doillon, and Kristen McMenamy, is presented with a raw, intentional clarity. The resulting imagery functions as a dialogue between the structured elegance defined by designer Haider Ackermann and the individual character of each subject. By blending natural light with controlled studio environments, the series establishes a timeless, monochromatic mood that highlights the sharpness of lapels and the clean, geometric hardware of the accessories, ultimately defining a new standard for luxury editorial portraiture that feels both aspirational and deeply grounded in reality.

Fashion stylist Jessica Willis anchors the aesthetic, pairing voluminous, retro-inspired looks with the controlled, diorama-like environments crafted by set designer Lane Vineyard. The imagery features precise hair styling by Panos Papandrianos, makeup by Raoul Alejandre, and manicures by Leanne Woodley, resulting in a series that balances high-fashion rigor with a subtle, surreal edge through clean, diffused studio lighting.

Ethel Cain fronts The Cut’s Summer 2025 issue in an editorial feature captured by photographer Camille Vivier.

Fashion editor and stylist Jessica Willis rounds out the creative direction, pairing the intricate garment with soft, earthy environmental elements including a classical stone urn and sprawling wild floral arrangements. The composition utilizes diffused soft light and neutral fabric drapes to maintain a cohesive, atmospheric tone throughout the editorial.
