About

Harper’s Bazaar Germany captures a distinct sense of poetic yearning in New Romantics, an editorial spread that masterfully balances contemporary luxury with a nostalgic, dreamlike aesthetic. Photographed by Dima Hohlov, the feature leans into the soft-focus allure of analogue film to craft a series of images that feel both timeless and intimate. The project centers on the fluid movement and delicate textures of high-end fashion, with fashion editor Kerstin Schneider curating a selection of sheer, voluminous gowns and intricate floral appliqués that evoke a distinctly ethereal mood. Model Matilde de Nard serves as the visual anchor, her poses arranged to suggest a weightless, floating quality enhanced by the expert styling of hair by Tie Toyama and natural, polished makeup by Megumi Itano. By utilizing varied studio backdrops—ranging from warm terracotta to crisp pale blue—and emphasizing natural, soft light, the team creates a visual rhythm that fluctuates between vibrant intensity and quiet, moody introspection. The inclusion of subtle vignette effects and intentional typography integrates the imagery seamlessly into the glossy magazine format. Ultimately, New Romantics succeeds by marrying the technical precision of high-key fashion photography with a raw, artistic sensibility, proving that even within the polished constraints of media and entertainment, there remains ample room for profound visual storytelling that resonates with the modern reader.
