Description
Document Journal presents 'The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom,' a fashion editorial feature spotlighting sculptural streetwear and layered silhouettes. Photographed by Phil Engelhardt, the series captures model Sihana Shalaj in high-contrast apparel against a minimal white studio backdrop. The project leans into experimental volume and dense, layered garment construction, emphasized by styling from Robbie Spencer. Using clean lighting and macro techniques, the portraiture balances heavy black textures with sharp, minimalist beauty direction, including hair by Chi Wong and makeup by Vassilis Theotokis. Casting for the editorial was provided by Anita Bitton.
