Glamour South Africa: Bare Necessities

Oct 2025

Glamour South Africa presents 'Bare Necessities,' a jewelry-focused fashion editorial that explores the tactile relationship between sculptural forms and the human figure. Captured through a combination of chiaroscuro techniques and high-key beauty lighting, the series highlights architectural resin and molten gold accessories against both minimalist dark and bright studio backdrops. Photographers Stephen McGinn and Rebecca Siegel utilize tight framing and directional illumination to draw attention to the interplay of material textures. The editorial is further defined by fashion styling from Davis Carrasquillo and natural makeup by William Murphy, with hair styling by Takashi Ashizawa, creating a polished aesthetic that centers on clean, refined compositions.
