The October 2026 cover of Elle Germany features model Alena Blohm in an editorial portrait captured by photographer Bryce Thompson. The composition leans into a raw, urban aesthetic, positioning the subject against a rusted fire escape backdrop within a cityscape.
The imagery makes use of natural light to cast warm tones across the scene, highlighting the contrast between the subject’s vibrant orange dress and the architectural environment. Hair styling for the shoot was provided by Sevil Tai.
