CR Fashion Book

May 2026

In the latest installment of CR Reinvention, titled Echoes, the publication lean into a sophisticated exploration of identity and form through a series of high-impact fashion editorial portraits. Curated by Carine Roitfeld, the project functions as a masterclass in editorial minimalism, stripping away extraneous set design to place the subject at the absolute center of the frame. Photographer Zoë Joubert masterfully employs studio strobe and natural light to capture an array of textures, from the glossy sheen of satin gloves to the raw, unfiltered skin of the subjects, highlighting a commitment to authenticity within luxury fashion. The visual narrative is punctuated by experimental makeup, with makeup artist Carole Colombani utilizing bold, diffuse pigments to challenge conventional beauty standards, while hair stylist Yumiko Hikage introduces structural volume and teased textures that provide a compelling contrast to the clean lines of the garments. With casting directed by Rosie Vogel and featuring the versatile Aimee Byrne, the imagery successfully navigates the tension between classic portraiture and modern, avant-garde styling. By emphasizing the tactile quality of the fabrics—ranging from structured floral patterns to heavy, fringed accents—the project creates a cohesive aesthetic that feels both timely and timeless. Echoes serves as a definitive look at how high-fashion photography can prioritize intimate human detail while maintaining a bold, editorial edge that resonates deeply within the luxury fashion industry.
