Harper's Bazaar Kazakhstan: The Secret Garden

Jul 2025

Harper’s Bazaar Kazakhstan explores the intersection of high fashion and botanical environments in The Secret Garden. This fashion editorial series leans into a tactile aesthetic, juxtaposing structured luxury garments and intricate accessories against the raw, organic elements of a manicured garden setting. Photographer and art director Olga Rubio Dalmau employs diffused natural light to ground the subjects, framing them amidst weathered stone, topiary hedges, and lush foliage. The styling, executed by Nieves Elorduy, bridges the gap between polished couture and earthy textures. With a focus on editorial composition and atmospheric depth, the project highlights a contrast between synthetic metallic textiles, crochet knitwear, and the deep, moody greenery of its outdoor backdrop.
