Elle Brasil: Velvet Goldmine

Sep 2025

Elle Brasil presents Velvet Goldmine, a fashion editorial feature that explores tactile textures and structured silhouettes. Through the lens of photographer Hick Duarte, the series pivots between sharp, tailored monochrome ensembles and rich, earthy tones. The project utilizes distinct editorial techniques, including moody low-key chiaroscuro lighting and soft, natural light, to highlight details like lustrous silk, studded leather, and intricate jewelry. Featuring hair styling by Mika Safro, the work captures subjects across a mix of minimalist studio environments and distressed interior settings.
