Dazed Magazine

Jun 2026

For this Dazed Magazine feature titled Myh a’la, the editorial team crafts a compelling exploration of contemporary style, blending the raw, grit-infused energy of urban landscapes with the polished precision of high-end fashion. The project serves as a sophisticated fashion editorial that leans into a nineties-inspired aesthetic, utilizing an array of portraiture techniques to capture the multifaceted personality of its subjects. Photographer Jessica Madavo expertly navigates the tension between movement and stillness, moving fluidly between high-key, luminous portraits and the moody, cinematic depths of low-key chiaroscuro lighting. With fashion direction by Marcus Cuffie, the styling—defined by lace, structured knits, and sharp metallic textures—acts as a dialogue with the architectural environments, whether set against the industrial textures of city streets or the vast, overcast expanse of a New York rooftop. The production is underpinned by a distinct analogue sensibility, as evidenced by the consistent use of 35mm film, which imparts a tactile, nostalgic grain to the visuals. Supported by hair styling from Dre Demry Sanders and makeup by Shyanna Lundi, the project channels a raw, unfiltered confidence that feels both timeless and urgent. By focusing on intimate gazes and stylized posture, this work successfully merges luxury fashion house sensibilities with a grittier, lifestyle-driven approach, resulting in a cohesive series that resonates with the bold, inquisitive identity of Dazed Magazine.
