Description

This fashion editorial photograph for Manifesto Magazine's project Fashion Becomes Art was captured by photographer Matthieu Delbreuve. Model Haizhu Gu wears a sleeveless off-white dress covered in tactile floral appliques, paired with dramatic long black leather gloves and black platform sandals. The styling by Thea Lewis-Yates is complemented by hair from Quentin Guyen and makeup by Ellen Walge. Set design by Frederick Asseo frames the subject against a soft, mottled gradient backdrop with warm and cool tones, while casting was managed by Marina Fairfax.
