Glass Magazine: Charade

Jul 2025

Glass Magazine presents Charade, a beauty and fashion editorial series that places a contemporary focus on high-contrast color palettes and intimate textures. The project features model Alida Aciu in a sequence of portraits that explore the interplay between bold cosmetic applications—specifically vibrant red lipstick and manicures—and sculptural jewelry. Photographer Jon Gorrigan employs a clean aesthetic, utilizing macro framing and natural light to emphasize fine details such as skin texture and gold hardware. The editorial design, shaped by the expertise of fashion editor and stylist Steph Wilson and beauty editor Kim Brown, centers on a polished visual rhythm. Hair styling by Craig Taylor and casting by Paul Isaac round out the production, which uses a minimalist backdrop to isolate its subjects within a refined, clean editorial framework.
