British Vogue: Bringing It All Back

Apr 2025

British Vogue presents 'Bringing It All Back,' a fashion editorial featuring entertainer Jorja Smith. Captured by photographer Mel Bles, the project centers on a series of clean, studio-based portraits that explore texture and movement through precise styling and composition. Fashion editor Nell Kalonji defines the visual narrative with a selection of tailored layers and bold silhouettes, ranging from structured leather coats to draped evening wear. The production leans into minimalist aesthetic choices, utilizing monochrome contrast and high-key lighting, occasionally punctuated by saturated red set pieces. These editorial images incorporate techniques such as analogue film and clean, natural light to maintain a focused, sharp presentation. Creative collaboration includes choreography by Benjamin Jonsson, with hair styling by Ali Pirzadeh and makeup by Celia Burton.
