Elle Slovenia

Jun 2026

In Spnite In Pripnite, Elle Slovenia delivers a compelling vision of modern youth through a series of striking beauty portraits that expertly balance playfulness with high-fashion restraint. This editorial series leans into a raw, unfiltered aesthetic, focusing on the intricate relationship between nostalgic accessories and a clean, contemporary beauty look. Photographer Julia Morris captures her subjects with a gentle precision, utilizing consistent natural light to emphasize the varied textures of silver barrettes, tortoiseshell headbands, and branded hair rollers. The project thrives on a deliberate interplay of elements; the whimsical application of star-shaped facial stickers and colorful adhesive accents contrasts sharply against the models' neutral, contemplative gazes and soft, natural skin. Hair stylist Jennifer Covington-Bowers plays a pivotal role in the visual narrative, transforming simple styling tools into sculptural statements that define the compositions. Complementing this, makeup artist Tadatoshi Horikoshi keeps the palette grounded, using subtle rouge and fresh tones to celebrate the unique freckles and features of models like Dagmar Janssen and Giovanna Lannes. By stripping away complex backgrounds in favor of off-white, minimalist settings, the work highlights an avant-garde approach to everyday portraiture. The result is a cohesive editorial portfolio that feels both intimate and curated, proving that even the most casual elements can be elevated into a sophisticated visual dialogue through thoughtful composition and technical mastery.
