In Search of a Main-Character Shoe 2026

Description

This fashion editorial photograph for American Vogue was captured by photographer Lukas Wassmann with fashion editor and stylist Max Ortega. The image features a model stepping out of a classic elevator framed by metallic architectural panels within a hotel lobby setting. The subject wears a dark short-sleeved top paired with a voluminous, textured feathered skirt and distinctive statement footwear. Hair styling by E Williams and makeup by Grace Ahn complement the art-directed styling, while casting was managed by Kathryn Costigan and manicures by Naomi Yasuda. The composition uses a vertical framing with natural lighting to highlight the rich textures and sophisticated interior environment.
