Description

Studio portrait of a woman seated against a neutral seamless backdrop for The Cut December 2025 Special Issue. She wears a dark, fitted garment featuring prominent rounded sculptural sleeves and a V-neckline. Her hands rest gracefully over her waist, contrasting sharply in a pale tone against the dark fabric. The lighting is soft and directional, highlighting the sculptural silhouette and muted tonal palette. Szilveszter Mako photographed the cover under the creative direction of Editor-in-Chief Lindsay Peoples and styling by Jessica Willis.
