Harper's Bazaar U.S.

Nov 2025

Captured for Harper’s Bazaar U.S., this editorial feature—titled 'Cynthia Erivo Is Unstoppable'—showcases the artist in a series of high-fashion compositions that emphasize sculptural silhouettes and minimalist art direction. Photographer Cass Bird captures the talent in a variety of avant-garde and structured ensembles, ranging from voluminous ruffled gowns to monochromatic tailored outerwear, often set against clean studio backgrounds. The project channels a striking, graphic aesthetic through both colour and monochrome imagery. Creative direction by Laura Genninger and fashion styling by Yashua Simmons define the visual narrative, which highlights the subject's poised presence through sharp studio lighting and natural light. Detailed styling, including avant-garde metallic headpieces and architectural drapery, is complemented by the work of makeup artist Joanna Simkin and manicurist Mycah Dior, creating a cohesive visual study in texture and form.
