AnOther Magazine

Mar 2026

For the SS 26 issue of AnOther Magazine, photographer Marie Valognes and art director SJ Todd cultivate a masterclass in editorial minimalism, leaning into a sharp, sartorial narrative that blurs the lines between high fashion and domestic service. The feature, meticulously styled by Akeem Smith, presents a study in contrasts where masculine tailoring meets delicate, feminine details against the backdrop of classically decorated, architectural interiors. Through the lens of analogue film and 35mm film techniques, the series channels a cinematic, lived-in elegance that feels both archival and profoundly contemporary. Sihana Shalaj leads as the primary model, embodying a stoic, refined presence that anchors the imagery, while hair stylist Olivier Noraz and makeup artist Karin Westerlund keep the beauty aesthetic understated to ensure the garments remain the focal point. Set designer Amy Stickland elevates the environment with purposeful, service-inspired details—from vintage silver platters to pristine white gloves—that transform static portraiture into a narrative act. The result is a sophisticated exploration of monochrome contrasts and meticulous construction, utilizing natural light to highlight the rich textures of the collection. By integrating these elements, the project achieves a polished, clean aesthetic that stays true to the rigorous standards of modern luxury fashion houses while maintaining a distinct, narrative-driven personality throughout every frame.
