Manifesto Magazine Fashion Becomes Art / Balenciaga x M ... 2026

Description

This striking fashion editorial image for Manifesto Magazine features model Haizhu Gu crouching gracefully on layered grey paper. She wears a vibrant magenta architectural dress with an off-the-shoulder draped silhouette that pools onto the floor. The composition is set against a soft, hand-painted background blending muted pink and pale tones. Captured by photographer Matthieu Delbreuve with styling by Thea Lewis-Yates and set design by Frederick Asseo, the scene highlights sculptural form and texture. Hair by Quentin Guyen and makeup by Ellen Walge complete the artistic look.
