Elle Australia

Sep 2025

Fashion's New Force is a comprehensive editorial series for Elle Australia, captured through the lens of photographer Pierre Toussaint. The project spans a diverse range of urban settings, from historic stone bridges and canal-side parapets to gritty street-level architecture, creating a dynamic visual narrative that explores contemporary silhouettes. Fashion editor Naomi Smith curates a wardrobe defined by high-contrast textures, ranging from voluminous ruffled tulle and shaggy knits to structured, embellished tailoring. The imagery leans into a blend of clean, warm-toned compositions and high-contrast monochrome, often utilizing analogue film techniques to capture raw, atmospheric detail. Model Anna Robinson anchors the series, supported by hair styling from Joel Phillips, makeup artistry by Tiina Roivainen, and manicures by Huberte Cesarion. The project effectively utilizes natural light across all frames, grounding the high-fashion aesthetic in tangible, everyday environments.
