Description

Elle UK presents 'Prime Time', a fashion editorial featured in the publication's 40th anniversary issue. The project showcases British actor Naomi Ackie in a series of dynamic portraits, captured by photographer Fabien Montique. Fashion editor and stylist Donna Wallace leans into a palette of vibrant hues and sharp tailoring, styling Ackie in structured silhouettes ranging from a lime green trench coat to a minimalist black cut-out dress. The imagery utilizes a clean, editorial aesthetic, relying on high-key and soft light to accentuate the textures of the wardrobe against monochromatic studio backdrops. The editorial features hair styling by Issac Poleon and makeup artistry by Nikki Wolff, with movement direction by Liam John and manicures by Sabrina Gayle.
