Elle UK

Sep 2026

Elle UK’s September 2026 issue features a striking cover portrait of model Amar Akway. Photographed by Marc de Groot, the editorial captures a highly polished aesthetic through a clean, minimalist lens. The visual composition centers on Akway, styled by fashion editor Rudy Simba Betty in structured headwear and architectural silver hardware. Makeup artist Irena Ruben complements the look with a sweep of iridescent purple shadow, rendered under directional soft light against a neutral grey backdrop. This cover leans into the publication’s signature editorial style, maintaining a sharp focus on texture and form.
