Elle Belgium The March Issue 2026

About

This striking monochrome fashion portrait is part of The March Issue project for Elle Belgium, captured by photographer Willy Vanderperre. The image features a model with intricately styled, voluminous curly hair wearing an elegant, long draped gown with soft sculptural folds. The high-contrast lighting creates deep shadows while highlighting the textures of the fabric and the subject's pose. Fashion direction is led by Élodie Ouédraogo, with hair styling by Louis Ghewy, makeup by Peter Philips, and casting by Samuel Ellis Scheinman. The minimalist studio setup emphasizes the purity of form and high-fashion aesthetics.
