Acne Paper Solar 2025

About

Solar, an expansive editorial project for Acne Paper, centers on the interplay of sculptural silhouettes and monochromatic atmospheric lighting. Under the creative direction of Thomas Persson, photographer Paul Kooiker captures a series of evocative, high-concept portraits that lean into a warm, sepia-toned palette to emphasize tactile textures and architectural form. Fashion editor Beat Bolliger shapes the series with a rigorous focus on avant-garde styling, utilizing layered leather, structured tailoring, and fluid drapery. The imagery, often characterized by low-key lighting and grainy analogue film aesthetics, frames models Helena Olmedo and Sonya Mohova in dynamic, expressive poses that command the minimalist studio space.
