Harper's Bazaar España

Dec 2025

Harper's Bazaar España features Olympic athlete Simone Biles in a series of striking portraits that bridge the worlds of elite sport and high fashion. Photographed by JuanKr, the editorial set leans into dramatic tonal contrasts and sculptural silhouettes to capture Biles in both dynamic motion and poised, static configurations. Fashion editor Claudia Laukamp styles the sessions with a mix of high-concept evening wear, including sequined gowns, metallic textures, and ornate brocade-patterned jackets. Complementing the wardrobe, hair stylist Fernando Torrent provides sleek, neat grooming that emphasizes the sharp facial features and intense gaze of the subject. The imagery frequently employs chiaroscuro lighting and monochrome grading to highlight form and texture, while select frames lean into a distinct Polaroid aesthetic with raw, exposed borders.
