Harper's Bazaar U.S.

Sep 2025

True To Form is a sophisticated fashion editorial for Harper’s Bazaar U.S. that prioritizes architectural tailoring and high-contrast studio portraiture. Starring model Mica Argañaraz, the series explores clean, sculptural silhouettes through a range of structured leather ensembles, floor-length gowns, and mid-century-inspired separates. Photographer Julien Martinez Leclerc employs a mix of hard light and chiaroscuro techniques to emphasize the graphic quality of the clothing, while styling by Carlos Nazario leans into a minimalist, tactile aesthetic. Complementary hair styling by Benjamin Muller and makeup by Satoko Watanabe add precision to the polished, monochromatic and warm-toned frames, resulting in an understated study of shape and negative space.
