About

Captured for V Magazine, "Feel the heat" is a fashion editorial series that explores the interplay between architectural decay and high-end textiles. Shot by photographer Daniel Archer, the work leans into a moody, atmospheric aesthetic, utilizing raw, industrial interiors and derelict tile-lined rooms as a backdrop for contemporary luxury fashion. Fashion editor and stylist Gro Curtis curates a tactile wardrobe, featuring everything from intricate lace and sheer fabrics to oversized puffers and metallic slip dresses. The visuals are defined by a deliberate, cinematic use of natural light and low-key, chiaroscuro-inspired shadow play. With hair styling by Stelios Chondros and makeup by Lauren Reynolds, the models—including Balat Pal, Svetlana Lethelier, and Valery Sergeeva—embody a sharp, introspective energy, captured with a grainy, analogue film sensibility that emphasizes grit and texture.
