Manifesto Magazine Take the Lead 2026

About

This striking fashion editorial photograph, part of the project Take the Lead for Manifesto Magazine, captures four models posing outdoors against a textured white wall featuring a blue window frame. The composition employs high-contrast natural lighting, casting sharp shadows that accentuate the tailored garments and architectural backdrop. On the left, a model wears a long black coat over a red turtleneck. In the center background, another model leans against the wall in a patterned jacket and red trousers. On the right foreground, a model wears a wide-brimmed hat, a belted tan coat, and carries a white handbag. Photographed by Sam Wilson, with fashion styling by Thea Lewis-Yates, hair by Anna Chapman, makeup by Kim Brown, casting by Marina Fairfax, and edited by Jonathan Yee, the image showcases sophisticated styling and dramatic visual framing.
