Manifesto Magazine Take the Lead 2026

About

This editorial image from the Manifesto Magazine project Take the Lead, photographed by Sam Wilson with fashion styling by Thea Lewis-Yates, features two models posing outdoors against a white brick building exterior beneath bright sunlight. The composition is vertically oriented, capturing strong contrast and deep shadows cast against the architectural wall. One model wears a patterned animal-print jacket paired with vibrant orange trousers, while the other is dressed in a long grey belted coat and a wide-brimmed hat. The hair styling is handled by Anna Chapman, makeup by Kim Brown, and casting by Marina Fairfax. The resulting visual combines striking contemporary apparel with a documentary-style outdoor setting.
