Elle UK: Backstage Pass

Feb 2026

Elle UK presents 'Backstage Pass,' a fashion editorial feature documenting the candid moments of a studio shoot. Photographed by Theresa Marx, the series leans into the raw energy of professional production, captured through a lens of clean aesthetic and soft light. Fashion editor and stylist Holly Gorst leads the wardrobe curation, pairing textural elements like burgundy leather and sequin fringe with relaxed denim and structural accessories. The editorial integrates the collaborative contributions of hair stylist Yoshitaka Miyazaki, makeup artist Faye Bluff, and manicurist Ami Streets to highlight the precision of backstage preparation. Featuring model Rosa Kirakosyan, the imagery moves through architectural studio interiors and minimalist settings. The project balances composed editorial portraits with observational shots, utilizing natural light and clean staging to document the synthesis of fashion and preparation.
