Christian Cowan Step behind the runway at Christian Cowan 2025

Description

Captured by photographer Ellen von Unwerth for Christian Cowan, this striking black and white image features two models standing in front of draped white fabric. Both women wear dramatic, towering retro hairstyles and long, floor-length black evening gowns. The high-contrast monochrome lighting accentuates the sculptural silhouettes of their dresses and the elaborate volume of their hair. The composition reflects a backstage runway moment with a bold, timeless editorial aesthetic.
