Featured EPOCH REVIEW projects
This week's top EPOCH REVIEW projects, carefully handpicked by Visie's expert curators, showcase the best in style and innovation.
Project EPOCH REVIEW · The Kids of Pompeii
The Kids of Pompeii, a compelling editorial feature presented by EPOCH REVIEW, masterfully juxtaposes the transient energy of contemporary youth culture against the immutable weight of history. Through the lens of photographer Jonas Lindstroem and the aesthetic vision of fashion editor Nelly Carle, the project breathes new life into the ancient archaeological site of Pompeii, transforming it into a backdrop for a series of contemplative, cinematic compositions. The imagery leans heavily into a documentary sensibility, utilizing the soft, diffused clarity of natural light to bridge the gap between modern streetwear and weathered, millennia-old stone structures. Whether capturing candid moments of reflection amidst tiered amphitheater seating or framing figures in minimalist silhouettes against a hazy, twilight horizon, the work creates a profound sense of temporal contrast. The narrative arc, subtly guided by the integration of natural light and low-key chiaroscuro techniques, elevates the editorial lifestyle aesthetic beyond simple fashion photography into a meditation on scale and time. By positioning young subjects within the silent, expansive remains of a vanished civilization, the project avoids the pitfalls of generic nostalgia. Instead, it offers a sophisticated visual study that feels both grounded and ethereal, inviting the viewer to engage with the quiet dialogue between the ancient landscape and the casual, everyday presence of the figures inhabiting it.
Project EPOCH REVIEW · EPOCH REVIEW 04 Covers POMPEII Issue
For the latest iteration of the Epoch Review, the POMPEII issue masterfully leans into an intersection of historical gravitas and contemporary editorial minimalism. Photographer Zoe Natale Mannella anchors the visual narrative by utilizing a high-angle perspective, transforming the page into a geometric canvas where the human form becomes part of an architectural landscape. Central to this portrait series is model Sara Caballero, whose deliberate placement on light-colored mosaic tiling allows the bold, saturated aesthetics to command attention. Fashion editor and stylist Marc Goehring curates a sophisticated balance between the dark, textured jacket and the disruptive pop of vibrant red tights, a choice that breathes kinetic energy into the otherwise static, symmetrical composition. The integration of neon green typography serves as a sharp, modern signature, reinforcing the brand's identity while providing a graphic anchor for the natural light illumination. By synthesizing precise casting with an exacting eye for detail, the creative team—bolstered by the refined touch of hair stylist Kiyoko Odo and makeup artist Patrick Glatthaar—delivers a visual language that feels both timeless and urgent. It is a striking example of how print media continues to leverage classic editorial techniques to push the boundaries of fashion photography, ensuring the cover remains a definitive statement of intent within the current publishing climate.
Project EPOCH REVIEW · FLOORS OF POMPEII
In Floors of Pompeii, Epoch Review masterfully bridges the gap between historical weight and contemporary playfulness, resulting in a fashion editorial that feels both academic and inherently modern. Captured through the sharp, singular vision of photographer Zoe Natale Mannella, the series leans into high-angle, bird's-eye compositions that treat the subject as part of an intricate, ancient landscape. By placing model Sara Caballero against the rigid, geometric history of mosaic floors, the imagery finds a compelling tension between the permanence of stone and the fleeting, vibrant energy of modern luxury fashion. The styling, curated by fashion editor Marc Goehring, acts as the primary disruptor here, utilizing bold color-blocking—vivid teal and purple tights against neutral stone—to force a dialogue between the past and the present. Every frame is elevated by the deliberate, soft natural light, which highlights the layered textures of tweed, leather fringe, and reflective sequins. With hair styling by Kiyoko Odo and precise makeup artistry by Patrick Glatthaar, the portraits maintain an editorial minimalism even amidst the chaos of clashing prints and architectural patterns. This is a rigorous study in form, where the floor is not merely a setting, but a vital participant in the visual storytelling, transforming a luxury fashion house narrative into a textured exploration of geometry, color, and heritage.
