British Vogue’s Keeping It Coel editorial features actor Michaela Coel in a multi-part portrait series captured by photographer Harley Weir. The work leans into a blend of high-fashion editorial aesthetics, moving between controlled studio settings and evocative, tactile outdoor environments. Fashion editor Nell Kalonji defines the visual direction, pairing structured tailoring with ethereal tulle and voluminous silhouettes across a range of high-contrast and warm-toned environments. The project utilizes a variety of techniques, including analogue film and clean studio light, to explore texture and silhouette. Set design by Tilly Power adds depth to the compositions, while hair styling by Cyndia Harvey and bold makeup by Ana Takahashi provide a recurring visual signature across the series. The feature maintains a cohesive editorial narrative through varied settings, ranging from architectural backdrops to intimate, theatrical staging.
