Project Numero China · Pan Daijing
Numéro China features artist and composer Pan Daijing in a multifaceted editorial profile for issue 113. Captured through the lens of photographer Nadine Fraczkowski with fashion styling by Tim Lim, the series leans into moody, high-contrast aesthetics to document the artist’s presence. The imagery utilizes a range of techniques, from intense chiaroscuro and theatrical spotlights to blurred long-exposure shots and flash-lit urban settings. By juxtaposing sculptural dark silhouettes against brutalist architectural backdrops, minimalist concrete stairs, and textured night-lit foliage, the editorial emphasizes a shift between structured high-fashion and raw, cinematic abstraction.
Project Numero China · Numéro China Fall 2026 Covers
The Fall 2026 cover story for Numéro China features a structured editorial portrait captured by photographer Kloss Films. The composition highlights a dynamic pairing against a minimalist studio backdrop, utilizing clean typography to anchor the magazine masthead and issue details. Kristen McMenamy leads the session as the featured model, supported by hair styling from Declan Sheils. The portrait leans into a vertical format, characterized by a crisp, clean aesthetic that prioritizes sharp sartorial details and composed framing.
Project Numero China · Distance
Numero China presents Distance, a fashion editorial project featuring model Kristen McMenamy. The series captures a range of structured silhouettes and contrasting textures, moving from formal tweed suiting and patterned mini dresses to layered casual wear. Photographer Kloss Films employs clean studio lighting to highlight the intricate fabric details and sculptural styling throughout the collection. The imagery utilizes a consistent vertical orientation and a polished editorial aesthetic. By integrating both neutral studio backdrops and candid technical elements, the project focuses on the interplay between form and fabric, accented by deliberate accessory choices like opera gloves and multi-chain belts.
Project Numero China · Numero china
Numero China’s latest fashion editorial series, captured by photographers Suzie & Leo, centers on model Xiao Wen Ju in a sequence of rain-drenched urban settings. Styled by Klaire Chen, the collection of portraits and diptychs leans into a gritty, atmospheric aesthetic, utilizing natural light to highlight textures in wet pavement and heavy precipitation. Moving between candid street-style movement and controlled high-fashion composition, the imagery integrates analogue film techniques and desaturated tones. The editorial features a range of functional and eclectic apparel—from transparent vinyl raincoats and trench coats to layered outerwear—set against the muted backdrop of city streets and vehicle-heavy urban environments.
Project Numero China · Premiere: Act III
Premiere: Act III for Numero China represents a masterclass in editorial minimalism, blending the structured elegance of luxury fashion with a surreal, performative edge. Through a series of high-fashion portrait sequences, the project challenges the traditional boundaries of the studio environment, utilizing studio strobe lighting to emphasize tactile textures—from voluminous feathers and fringe to architectural, padded shoulders. The creative direction leans heavily into a conceptual narrative, where the recurring motifs of bright red clown noses and strategically placed balloons serve as playful, jarring interruptions to an otherwise composed and austere aesthetic. Model Birte Carolin Von Knoblauch moves with calculated intention, guided by movement director Breckyn Drescher to create images that often feature meta-commentary on the photographic process itself, frequently incorporating professional camera gear as both a tool and a sculptural element within the frame. Styled by Johanna Bouvier and Klaire Chen, the collection of looks oscillates between sharp, tailored suiting and whimsical, voluminous layers, creating a dynamic visual rhythm. With clean, even lighting and a restricted color palette of white, grey, and vibrant pops of red and yellow, the work retains a cinematic quality that elevates the fashion editorial format. This project is a refined exercise in creative tension, proving that luxury fashion can maintain its structural integrity while embracing bold, imaginative whimsy.
Project Numero China · Numero China Spring 2026 Cover
For the Numero China Spring 2026 issue, the creative team has delivered a masterclass in editorial minimalism that captures the tension between structural fashion and portrait intimacy. Centered on a striking close-up of model Liu Wen, the cover leverages a sharp, high-key aesthetic to command immediate attention. The composition is defined by the stark contrast between the subject's short, dark hair and the tactile complexity of her sleeveless vest, a piece crafted from a dense, straw-like material that introduces a unique, bristled texture to the frame. Under the creative direction of Klaire Chen, the visual narrative remains focused and uncluttered, set against a pristine white background that allows the subtle pastel tints on the masthead and the model's shoulder to breathe. Photographer Jaša Müller utilized precise studio strobe lighting to emphasize the pointed, gold-toned star-shaped earrings, which act as a delicate focal point against the raw, architectural feel of the garment. Complementing this, the grooming work by hair stylist Youhua Xu and makeup artist Yooyo Keong Ming leans into a clean, refined polish that grounds the high-fashion concept in reality. The resulting portrait is a testament to the power of deliberate, pared-back photography, ensuring that every element—from the choice of accessories to the soft color gradients—serves the overarching aesthetic of this seasonal editorial centerpiece.
Project Numero China · Numero China November 2025 Cover
Numéro China presents its November 2025 cover, featuring model Qun Ye in an editorial session that leans into graphic compositions and moody tones. The imagery utilises soft light to emphasise the intricate textures of a gold-trimmed bouclé jacket and statement jewellery against a minimalist studio set. Photographer Kiki Xue leads the visual direction, working alongside makeup artist Fir Wang to define the aesthetic. The cover highlights a geometric star prop as a focal point, grounding the composition within the publication’s signature editorial style.
Project Numero China · Numero China #113 Fall 2025 Covers
Numéro China’s Fall 2025 issue, #113, features a dual-cover editorial series that explores contrasting textures and silhouettes. The imagery leans into a minimalist aesthetic, utilizing a clean, high-key white backdrop to focus attention on the fashion and styling details. Photographers Annie Lai and Drew Jarrett captured the portraits, with styling provided by fashion editor Kingsley Tao. The covers feature models Kristine Lindseth and Erin O'Connor, presenting a study in varied material palettes ranging from delicate, semi-sheer tulle to structured, glossy leather. The series relies on soft, diffused lighting and integrated typography to define the editorial layout.
