Financial Times - HTSI Magazine

Sep 2026

Beautiful Chaos is a fashion editorial series for Financial Times HTSI Magazine, captured by photographer Max Farago. The project leans into a documentary-style aesthetic, utilizing analogue film techniques and natural light to document model Anja Rubik across a range of urban and coastal settings. The imagery contrasts high-fashion textures—including intricate lace, sculptural pleats, and rich velvet—against the raw, weathered backdrops of neoclassical architecture and traditional seaside markets. With fashion styling by Isabelle Kountoure, the series prioritizes a candid, atmospheric approach that highlights the interplay between opulent garments and everyday environments.
