British Vogue presents 'Divine Diwali,' a fashion editorial series that explores the aesthetic interplay between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary style. Photographer Vivek Vadoliya captures a blend of intimate portraits and dynamic outdoor scenes, highlighting intricate embroidery, rich textiles, and layered patterns across a diverse wardrobe.
The project leans into a warm, nostalgic mood, utilizing natural light to accentuate the textures of gold embellishments, lace, and statement accessories. Through the styling lens of Manvi Bhatnagar, the editorial features model Neelam Gill and others set against both rustic architectural backdrops and lush, organic environments. With makeup by Kristina Ralph Andrews and casting by Janay Bailey, the work employs techniques like analogue film and grainy textures to create an evocative, celebratory atmosphere.
