Exhibition Magazine

Mar 2026

In The Other Side of the Mirror, Exhibition Magazine explores the evocative intersection of vulnerability and high-fashion architecture, delivering a visual narrative that feels both cinematic and deeply intimate. As a masterclass in fashion photography, the feature leans into the tension between soft, human textures and hard, industrial environments. The editorial aesthetic is anchored by a deliberate use of natural light, which highlights the meticulous layering of garments and the complex juxtaposition of materials—from structured charcoal feathers and polished leather to delicate lace and paper origami cranes. By utilizing framing devices such as open doorways and mirrors, the imagery creates a sense of voyeuristic discovery that invites the viewer to look closer at the subject. The success of this editorial project rests on the collaborative synergy between the creative team; fashion editor and stylist Manvi Bhatnagar orchestrates a wardrobe that balances architectural rigidity with ethereal transparency, perfectly complemented by hair stylist Joel Phillips and makeup artist Jenneke Croubels. Casting director Monika Domarke selects model Elina Gunawardena, whose presence brings a grounded, contemplative energy to every frame. Set designer Thibault Muñoz rounds out the vision, ensuring that every background, whether a minimalist tiled bathroom or a weathered concrete wall, serves as a deliberate stage for the collection. The result is a refined, minimalist portrait series that stands as a definitive exploration of modern luxury.
