Harper's Bazaar UK: Curiouser And Curiouser

Sep 2025

Curiouser And Curiouser is a fashion editorial for Harper's Bazaar UK that explores dynamic movement and textural depth through high-fashion styling. Captured by photographer Emma Summerton, the series leans into a cinematic aesthetic, utilizing a blend of high-key monochrome portraits and moody, soft-lit compositions. Model Aylah Peterson anchors the project, showcasing a varied wardrobe that ranges from structured equestrian tailoring to intricate lace gowns. The editorial features detailed styling by Leith Clark, with hair by Serge Normant and makeup by Kabuki. The creative team employs varied studio environments—shifting between clean, minimal backdrops and atmospheric, shadow-heavy lighting—to emphasize the tactile quality of the garments. The project relies on varied techniques, including gentle motion blur and high-key lighting, to create a series that balances graphic contours with an ethereal, dreamlike quality.
