Costume Denmark
Behind the scenes
Mar 2026
This immersive look behind the scenes for Costume Denmark peels back the curtain on the meticulous construction of high-fashion editorial production. Through a series of candid moments and polished final captures, the project navigates the duality of the studio environment, balancing the raw, technical reality of backstage tailoring—often featuring improvised solutions like metallic binder clips—with the sleek, editorial minimalism of the finished product. Photographer Janne Rugland masterfully juxtaposes the quiet focus of the dressing area with the high-key, bright aesthetic of the studio floor, where model Vakare Steputyte brings a tactile, sculptural quality to the collection. The visual narrative leans into the intricate interplay of textures, from heavy fringe and faux fur to structured netting, all rendered with a crisp, professional eye. Supported by the subtle, clean makeup artistry of Nolwenn Quintin, the editorial styling emphasizes form, silhouette, and the precise architecture of the garments. Utilizing both studio strobe lighting and natural light, the series captures a distinct professional fashion environment that celebrates both the model’s presence and the behind-the-scenes craft. By weaving together analogue film textures with sharp, high-definition portraiture, the project serves as a sophisticated testament to the collaborative, iterative, and often unglamorous processes that underpin the polished elegance of luxury fashion houses.
