Elle U.S.: Sculpture Garden

Sep 2025

Sculpture Garden is a fashion editorial for Elle U.S. that explores the intersection of high-concept design and arid landscapes. Shot on analogue film, the series channels a minimalist aesthetic, using natural light to carve geometric silhouettes against desert terrain and salt flats. The photography emphasizes tactile fabric textures and bold, monochromatic contrast. Photographed by Sarah van Rij with fashion editing and styling by Dimphy den Otter, the project features models Caren Jepkemei and Ning Jinyi. The visual narrative relies on surreal, graphic compositions to place architectural garments within expansive outdoor settings, incorporating hair styling by Tiago Goya, makeup by Homa Safar, and casting by Clare Rhodes.
