Harper's Bazaar UK: Smart Casual

Sep 2025

Harper's Bazaar UK presents 'Smart Casual,' an editorial fashion series that explores the juxtaposition of elevated fine jewellery against relaxed, tactile wardrobe staples. Photographed by Theresa Marx, the project leans into a clean, minimal aesthetic, utilizing studio backdrops in white and pale blue to shift the focus toward material texture and intricate design details. The styling, directed by Holly Gorst, grounds the luxury accessories—ranging from pearl-encrusted silver to statement diamond pieces—within a contemporary wardrobe of draped white garments and structured denim. The project features hair by Yoshitaka Miyazaki, makeup by Faye Bluff, and manicures by Ami Streets, collectively maintaining a refined, soft-focus look across the series. The work employs natural light and clean studio lighting to emphasize individual textures, from floating feathers to classic denim stitching.
