Beyond Noise: Kai by Valeria Herklotz

Nov 2025

Kai, a fashion editorial series for Beyond Noise, showcases a study in sculptural silhouette and tactile complexity. Captured by photographer Valeria Herklotz, the project features model Kai Schreiber in a diverse range of high-fashion ensembles that transition from monochromatic, structured outerwear to vibrant, layered lace garments. The series leans into a minimalist aesthetic, utilizing a neutral studio palette to place the focus firmly on intricate tailoring, ruffled details, and precise fabric composition. With editorial direction from Sarah Richardson, the project maintains a consistent focus on clean lines and graphic contrast. The work employs techniques including analogue film and natural light to elevate the textures of the subjects' clothing, presenting an avant-garde approach to traditional portraiture.
