Elle Germany

Sep 2025

For the So Soft fashion editorial in Elle Germany, photographer Alex Waltl captures model Mariina Keskitalo across a series of sun-drenched, coastal settings. The project leans into a warm, minimalist aesthetic, juxtaposing tactile knitwear and structured leather ensembles against the clean lines of architectural stone and coastal waters. Utilising natural light and an analogue film technique, the imagery emphasises texture—from chunky ribbed knits to rustic masonry. The series maintains a consistent, atmospheric focus, pairing neutral palettes with the interplay of dappled sunlight and deep geometric shadows throughout the editorial.
