Description

This striking fashion editorial portrait for Manifesto Magazine features model Haizhu Gu posing in a dramatic purple halter dress with a ruffled, flared hemline. Photographed by Matthieu Delbreuve, the composition utilizes low-key lighting to sculpt the subject against a textured, muted dark backdrop. The styling by Thea Lewis-Yates highlights the architectural silhouette of the garment, complemented by hair styling from Quentin Guyen and makeup by Ellen Walge. Set design by Frederick Asseo and casting by Marina Fairfax complete the production.
