American Vogue

Sep 2026

In the latest creative feature for American Vogue titled Raw Material, the intersection of high-concept design and stripped-back portraiture comes to the forefront of contemporary designer fashion. This editorial project avoids the clutter of elaborate sets, opting instead for a stark white studio background that channels a sense of raw, unfiltered focus on the subjects. With sharp, minimalist compositions and soft light, the imagery leans into a clean aesthetic that highlights both the textile quality of the garments and the distinct personality of each model. Photographer Collier Schorr masterfully utilizes this negative space to emphasize the interplay between the subjects and the incidental art elements, such as the sketch by Milo, creating a dialogue between the figure and the frame. The styling, helmed by Camilla Nickerson, favors structured silhouettes like crimson tops and tailored black trousers, which ground the visuals in a modern, sophisticated reality. By relying on a disciplined approach to lighting and composition, the work captures a timeless quality that defines modern magazine media. The contribution of hair stylist Jimmy Paul and makeup artist Yumi Lee further enhances this editorial minimalism, ensuring the focus remains entirely on the fluidity of the fashion. Featuring a diverse ensemble of talent, Raw Material stands as a compelling testament to the power of negative space in luxury visual storytelling.
