Elle Germany

Dec 2025

For the High Glam editorial, Elle Germany presents a series of fashion portraits that focus on the intersection of high-end tailoring and statement jewellery. Photographed by Andreas Ortner, the project features model Bette Franke in a range of structured satin gowns, architectural trench coats, and draped evening wear. The series leans into a polished, minimalist aesthetic, utilising natural light and clean studio backdrops to draw attention to the interplay between lustrous fabrics and detailed gem settings. With hair styling by Olivier Lebrun and makeup by Thomas Lorenz, the editorial maintains a consistent look across various sets, characterising the collection through its focus on monochrome and warm-toned compositions. Casting for the project was led by Panagiota Florou. The work prioritises classic editorial layouts and soft beauty lighting to highlight the craftsmanship of the featured apparel and accessories.
