Project Numéro Istanbul · PAPARAZZI BEAUTY
Numéro Istanbul redefines the intersection of high fashion and voyeuristic allure with its latest editorial feature, Paparazzi Beauty. This captivating fashion campaign leans into the raw, urgent energy of tabloid photography, masterfully subverting the tropes of celebrity culture to spotlight luxury aesthetics. Through the lens of photographer Michelle Monique, the series captures a sense of spontaneous movement and cinematic tension, utilizing sharp flash and moody, low-key lighting to mimic the frantic nature of an urban night shoot. Stylist Marisa Ellison curates a sophisticated wardrobe that balances architectural cream trench coats and high-shine patent leather with the playful, bold makeup artistry of Riku Campo, featuring everything from striking blue eyeshadow to dramatic burgundy lips. Hair stylist Takuya Sugawara complements the narrative with wind-swept, voluminous textures that amplify the feeling of a subject caught in the heat of a moment. By layering intricate jewelry and iconic accessories as improvised shields, the collection transforms the paparazzi aesthetic into a high-fashion editorial statement. Every frame feels both candid and deliberate, relying on shallow depth of field and carefully managed natural light to keep the focus firmly on the interplay between glamour and exposure. This project serves as a compelling masterclass in modern storytelling, proving that the boundary between private celebrity moments and polished commercial style is more porous and creatively rich than ever before.
Project Numéro Istanbul · People of This City: Ece & Esin Bıçak
For their 'People of This City' series, Numéro Istanbul features Ece and Esin Bıçak in a wide-ranging fashion editorial that grounds high-end design within the fabric of the city. Photographer Federico De Angelis moves through public squares, bridges, and waterfronts to frame the subjects against Istanbul’s unique blend of historic minarets, modern glass architecture, and everyday urban life. The series leans into a candid, documentary-style aesthetic, often utilising analogue film to capture the interplay of light and texture. Selin Bursalioglu’s styling mixes structured tailoring and layered contemporary silhouettes with bold embellishments, while Ece Birsen provides a clean makeup palette that allows the subjects to remain the focus amidst the varied city backdrops. The work is defined by its natural light and fluid composition, alternating between golden hour warmth and sharp monochrome contrasts.
Project Numéro Istanbul · Fantasy and Reality
Fantasy and Reality is a luxury fashion editorial for Numéro Istanbul featuring model Fran Summers. Photographed by Bohdan Bohdanov, the project explores the interplay of sharp silhouettes and refined textures through a mix of clean studio compositions and moody, analogue-inspired portraits. The editorial, styled by Ceylan Atınç and Selin Bursalioglu, leans into a monochrome aesthetic punctuated by warm tones and dramatic chiaroscuro lighting. Ataberk Gul provided hair styling and Hugo Villard handled makeup, creating a polished look that alternates between minimalist luxury and multi-layered, experimental imagery.
Project Numéro Istanbul · Into The Summer Void
Numéro Istanbul captures a striking sense of youthful restlessness in Into The Summer Void, a high-fashion editorial that navigates the intersection of primary-colored graphic design and raw, personal portraiture. Photographer Xavi Gordo masterfully employs natural light to accentuate the collection's bold palette, moving between sharp, high-contrast studio-style setups and candid outdoor vignettes. Through the lens, model Jon Payeras becomes a conduit for a distinct brand of contemporary menswear, effortlessly shifting from athletic, crouched poses against minimalist architectural backdrops to intimate, emotive moments rendered in moody, monochromatic tones. The project leans into a sophisticated editorial aesthetic that prioritizes texture and movement, underscored by a styling narrative curated by Duygu Massol that integrates floral motifs with structured silhouettes and unexpected color blocking. Whether framed against the stark geometry of a red corrugated wall or softened by the dappled light of a verdant lawn, each frame feels purposeful and composed. With makeup by Jamal Musa and expert casting by Ivan Lozano, the series avoids the static nature of traditional lookbooks, instead favoring a dynamic, filmic quality—occasionally emphasized through the use of analogue film techniques—that honors the interplay between the subject and his environment. Into The Summer Void ultimately stands as a testament to the power of deliberate, vibrant fashion storytelling in the digital age.
Project Numéro Istanbul · Numéro Istanbul Homme 01 Cover
For the debut edition of Numéro Istanbul Homme 01, the editorial team has curated a visual identity that leans into a sophisticated, minimalist aesthetic synonymous with high-end print media. This cover portrait, captured by photographer Mattia Guolo, anchors the premiere issue with a focused intensity that bridges the gap between contemporary fashion and timeless masculine portraiture. By utilizing studio strobe lighting, the composition strips away unnecessary distractions, leaving the subject, Tony Özkan, to command the frame through a direct, deliberate gaze. His muted taupe utility-style shirt provides a tactile texture that contrasts against the stark, neutral gray backdrop, reinforcing the publication's commitment to understated luxury. The clean, calculated placement of the magazine typography serves as a structural framework that elevates the imagery, ensuring the final output reads as both modern and authoritative. Beyond the lens, the meticulous attention to detail is evident in the polished grooming provided by hair stylist Eugene Zubov, whose work maintains the integrity of the editorial look. This project marks a significant milestone for the magazine, successfully establishing a visual language that feels both globally relevant and distinctly grounded in the refined, discerning culture of the Numéro brand. It is an exercise in restraint where every element, from the gold accessories to the deliberate framing, works in harmony to define the aesthetic trajectory of this new media entity.
Project Numéro Istanbul · Numéro Istanbul HOMME 01 cover
For the debut cover of Numéro Istanbul HOMME 01, photographer Ferran Casanova captures a vibrant celebration of brotherhood and movement that pushes the boundaries of traditional high-fashion editorial. The composition trades static, posed perfection for a sense of kinetic, unscripted energy, featuring a collective of six models—including Brennan Aldred, Jhonattan Burjack, and Josh McGregor—immersed in an candid urban environment. By utilizing a live-action technique, the imagery feels less like a staged production and more like a captured moment of genuine connection, where the act of one subject grooming another adds a tactile, behind-the-scenes realism to the frame. The project leans into the strength of the subjects, utilizing bright natural light to define their athletic silhouettes against the sprawling backdrop of the city. Fashion editor and stylist Giorgio Andrea Branduardi anchors the visual narrative in a palette of bold reds and saturated shorts, creating a striking contrast against the crisp white magazine typography that overlays the scene. Through the precise lens of casting director Mattia Marazzi, the ensemble radiates an effortless charisma that defines the magazine’s new identity. This lifestyle-focused shoot effectively blurs the lines between commercial casting and intimate reportage, resulting in a cover that feels refreshingly authentic and deeply grounded in the contemporary spirit of modern men's media and entertainment.
Project Numéro Istanbul · Persona
Persona, the latest fashion campaign for Numéro Istanbul, serves as a masterclass in editorial minimalism and the power of high-fashion portraiture. By stripping away the noise of elaborate location sets, the project leans into the purity of the studio environment, utilizing precise studio strobe and natural light setups to highlight the structural integrity of the garments. Under the expert lens of photographer Royal Gilbert, the campaign captures a series of dynamic poses that emphasize both the intricate texture of embroidered silks and the sharp, architectural lines of leather tailoring. Fashion director Ayça Elkap and stylist Serena Pompei curate an aesthetic that oscillates between high-contrast monochrome portraits and vivid color-blocked imagery, with model Leanne De Haan anchoring the series through a range of transformative, performance-driven expressions. The technical execution—spanning from low-key chiaroscuro lighting to crisp, even studio illumination—allows the interplay of silhouette and fabric to take center stage. With hair styling by Eduardo Bravo providing a voluminous, textured counterpoint to the clean, graphic compositions, Persona reads as an exploration of individual identity within the framework of luxury fashion houses. The campaign successfully synthesizes elements of traditional portraiture with a modern, avant-garde editorial sensibility, resulting in a cohesive collection of imagery that feels both timeless and aggressively current, celebrating the intersection of form, color, and high-fashion craftsmanship.
Project Numéro Istanbul · Numéro Istanbul 02 Cover
For the second issue of Numéro Istanbul, titled Everydayness, the creative team navigates the intersection of high-concept luxury fashion and the raw, unvarnished pulse of the cityscape. Centered on a striking cover portrait featuring model Hilary Rhoda, the editorial masterfully transforms a mundane urban thoroughfare into a high-stakes runway. Photographer Petros Kouiouris captures Rhoda in mid-stride, utilizing sharp natural light to emphasize the sculptural tension between her voluminous, architectural white blouse and structured black culottes. The composition relies on a deliberate editorial aesthetic, eschewing studio artifice for the grit of a paved street, where a utility pole and blurred horizon lines provide a grounding, almost accidental contrast to the meticulously curated ensemble. Fashion editor and stylist Marisa Ellison anchors the look with an avant-garde approach, pairing an angular wide-brimmed hat with bold, lavender-toned slip-on mules that serve as the focal point of the silhouette. This visual narrative is polished with precise grooming by hair stylist Serena Radaelli and makeup artist Riku Campo, whose contributions maintain a sophisticated, balanced palette. By grounding such elevated, high-fashion pieces in a lifestyle context, the imagery suggests that the true essence of luxury lies in the kinetic energy of movement rather than static pose. The project stands as a definitive exploration of how intentional styling can reclaim common environments as stages for artistic expression.
Project Numéro Istanbul · Everydayness
In the striking new series Everydayness, Numéro Istanbul elevates the concept of the mundane through a masterclass in editorial minimalism. By stripping away the noise of high-fashion theatrics, the project places the focus squarely on the tactile reality of garments and the nuanced poise of its subject. Photographer Can Sever expertly utilizes natural light to wash over the frame, allowing the soft, diffused illumination to define the drape and texture of each piece, from fuzzy cardigans to structured utility wear. Fashion editor Ayça Elkap curates a wardrobe that favors clean lines and subdued palettes, turning everyday silhouettes into elevated objects of desire. The collaborative vision is brought to life by model Daga Ziober, whose grounded, neutral presence anchors the narrative, while the team’s commitment to an authentic aesthetic is punctuated by the intentional use of analogue film grain in select compositions. With meticulous hair styling by Huseyin Altun and subtle, precise makeup by Ece Birsen, the portraits read as a calm, contemplative dialogue between fashion and form. By leaning into this deliberate simplicity, the campaign proves that true luxury often lies in the details of the everyday, successfully crafting a visual language that feels both timelessly classic and strikingly contemporary within the modern luxury fashion landscape.
Project Numéro Istanbul · Numero Istanbul x Hilary Rhoda
Numéro Istanbul crafts a sophisticated visual dialogue in this high-fashion editorial campaign, featuring model Hilary Rhoda in a series of striking studio and lifestyle portraits. Under the lens of photographer Petros Kouiouris, the project leans into editorial minimalism, utilizing the precision of studio strobe lighting to emphasize the structural integrity of the garments. The styling, curated by Marisa Ellison, oscillates between masculine-inspired tailoring and fluid, avant-garde silhouettes, creating a narrative that feels both poised and dynamic. The aesthetic is reinforced by Serena Radaelli’s clean, slicked-back hair styling and Riku Campo’s precise makeup application, which together highlight Rhoda’s sharp features against neutral backdrops. Throughout the series, the team leverages high-key lighting and low-key chiaroscuro techniques to manipulate depth, while the contrast between textured, oversized tailoring and minimalist accessories ensures a cohesive, modern appeal. By blending controlled studio environments with raw, natural light street shots, the campaign captures a refined sense of everydayness. This collaboration serves as a masterclass in modern fashion photography, demonstrating how clean composition and deliberate art direction can elevate luxury fashion houses into compelling, narrative-driven art. The result is an enduring study of silhouette and texture that feels uniquely elevated while remaining grounded in the sharp, monochromatic elegance synonymous with high-end editorial work.
Project Numéro Istanbul · Blue Moon
Numéro Istanbul brings a sharp, sculptural lens to the world of luxury fashion in Blue Moon, a series that masterfully explores the intersection of minimalism and tactile materiality. Through the collaborative vision of photographer Nicolò Parsenziani and fashion editor Selin Bursalioglu, the project leans into a polished editorial aesthetic that feels both contemporary and timeless. By utilizing a deliberate mix of studio strobe lighting and soft natural light, the creative team emphasizes the structured silhouettes of high-end tailoring, from oversized navy blazers to the fluid, vibrant ruching of silk evening gowns. Model Lea Haesaert commands each frame, her precise movements and direct gaze anchoring the highly stylized, geometric compositions. The series is defined by its commitment to editorial minimalism, effectively stripping away extraneous details to allow the raw textures of leather, silk, and sheer fabrics to take center stage. Whether posed against the high-key clarity of a white backdrop or the moody, monochromatic depth of a solid blue studio setting, these portraits read as a refined study in form. The final output serves as an evocative statement on modern luxury fashion, proving that when the focus is placed squarely on clean lines and intentional styling, the result is an image that is both technically sophisticated and visually arresting in its absolute simplicity.
Project Numéro Istanbul · Dilan Çiçek Deniz
Numéro Istanbul presents a striking fashion campaign starring Dilan Çiçek Deniz, a visual exploration that masterfully balances high-fashion editorial rigor with a candid, lifestyle-oriented sensibility. Photographer Fabien Montique captures the essence of the collection through a lens that emphasizes architectural precision, seamlessly shifting between the stark, minimalist confines of a controlled studio setting and the storied, Haussmann-style streets of Paris. The imagery channels a refined aesthetic, leaning heavily into high-key lighting to accentuate the intricate, feathery textures and ornate silhouettes that define the featured garments. With the deft creative touch of hair stylist Jean-Luc Amarin and makeup artist Dariia Day, the portraits maintain a clean, polished finish that anchors the more avant-garde wardrobe choices, such as voluminous feather-adorned skirts and structural, sheer tops. The project moves with confidence, whether placing the subject within a stark white box or beside a vintage motorcycle on a quiet urban thoroughfare, creating a cohesive dialogue between the subject and her environment. Produced by Jean-Marc Mondelet, the campaign relies on expert composition and editorial minimalism to highlight the interplay of negative space and rich, tactile detail. This body of work serves as a masterclass in modern fashion portraiture, utilizing both natural light and studio strobe techniques to deliver an evocative, high-end visual narrative that feels both timeless and distinctly contemporary in its approach to luxury.
