Harper's Bazaar UK Harper's Bazaar UK 2025

Description

This black-and-white fashion editorial portrait for Harper's Bazaar UK was photographed by Cornelius Kaess and features model Bakhita Lual. The subject is captured in a low crouch indoors against a softly lit domestic interior with parquet flooring and panelled doors. She wears a distinctive white long-sleeved garment featuring an intricate woven cut-out pattern. Her hair is styled in neat cornrows falling over her shoulder, and her expression is contemplative. The image employs soft natural lighting and a monochrome palette, highlighting texture and form with quiet intensity. Fashion styling was directed by Holly Gorst, with hair by Tomi Roppongi and makeup by Megumi Matsuno.
