Carven

Mar 2026

The Carven FW26/27 collection campaign masterfully bridges the gap between heritage tailoring and modern tactile experimentation. Through an editorial lens, the creative team has produced a series of visuals that prioritize material dialogue, juxtaposing the raw, coarse textures of wool against the slick, supple nature of leather fringe and satin drapery. Under the creative direction of Sarah Bassett, the campaign channels a sophisticated, architectural sensibility, utilizing the clean lines of European urban exteriors as a foil for the collection’s voluminous silhouettes. Captured by photographer Janneke Van der Hagen, the imagery leans into the evocative potential of natural light, which is used to define the sculptural shapes of high-necked jackets and the intricate movement of cascading fringe trim. With fashion styling by Emilie Kareh, the project emphasizes a rigorous attention to detail—from scalloped lace hemlines to gold-embossed leather accessories—creating a cohesive study of form and texture. The casting, overseen by Rachel Chandler and featuring models like Akur Goi, Leila Goldkuhl, and Mauria Caetano, brings a composed, high-fashion stillness to the work. By prioritizing macro textural studies alongside lifestyle portraits, the campaign presents the FW26/27 offerings not merely as garments, but as a deliberate exploration of tension between structure and fluidity, ultimately anchoring Carven’s latest narrative in a refined and timeless aesthetic.
