American Vogue

Jun 2026

In Celine by Michael Rider - Ways of Seeing, American Vogue presents a masterclass in modern luxury fashion that feels both nostalgic and distinctly contemporary. Captured by photographer Francesc Planes, this fashion campaign leans into the architectural rigor of the house while embracing an authentic, human-centric energy. By utilizing natural light as a primary narrative tool, the series transforms urban environments into curated stages where clothing takes on a sculptural quality. Stylist Malina Joseph Gilchrist expertly juxtaposes the collection’s vibrant palettes against minimalist backdrops, relying on sharp tailoring and high-contrast accessories to create a bold, editorial aesthetic. The casting—featuring Aliocha Schneider, Angelina Kendall, Libby Taverner, and Yar Aguer—brings a relaxed, approachable sophistication to these complex silhouettes. From the graphic impact of abstract floral prints to the tactile allure of leather and faux-fur, every detail is articulated through precise composition. With the collaborative support of hair stylist Karim Belghiran and makeup artist Karin Westerlund, the imagery maintains a polished consistency that channels classic portraiture while remaining firmly rooted in the current moment. This project serves as a compelling exploration of texture and light, proving that even the most structured high-fashion ensembles can feel effortlessly alive when viewed through such an intentional and cinematic lens, ultimately reasserting the brand's enduring influence within the luxury fashion sector.
