Nov 2025

Harper's Bazaar Arabia presents 'Curtain Call,' a fashion editorial feature showcasing haute couture collections through a lens of dramatic elegance. Captured by photographer Vadym Yatsun and featuring model Paulina Pitsikalis, the series highlights architectural silhouettes and intricate detailing ranging from voluminous satin gowns to sculptural, textured ensembles. The project leans into a cinematic, painterly aesthetic, utilizing soft-focus diffusion and chiaroscuro lighting to define the subjects against varied, atmospheric studio backdrops. The editorial employs analogue film techniques and grainy textures to evoke a moody, elevated tone, ensuring the focus remains on the interplay of light and high-fashion craftsmanship.
