Financial Times - HTSI Magazine

Jul 2025

Financial Times HTSI Magazine presents 'Jewellery heads to the kindergarten,' a fashion editorial captured by photographer Annie Lai. The series documents a collection of fine and eclectic jewellery, layering delicate pearls, gold pendants, and beaded pieces against a backdrop of organic textures and lush garden flora. Featuring model Ana Beatriz Cortes, the imagery leans into a soft, airy aesthetic defined by natural light and sun-dappled outdoor settings. The production, which incorporates analogue film techniques and golden hour lighting, relies on styling that contrasts textured knitwear and floral appliqués with intricate metalwork. Casting was directed by Helena Balladino and Piergiorgio Del Moro, with makeup artistry provided by Liz Daxauer.
