Herdes Magazine: Not Far from the Woods

Jun 2025

Not Far from the Woods is an editorial fashion feature for Herdes Magazine, conceptualized as a narrative-driven exploration of rural textures and pastoral aesthetics. The imagery leans into a cinematic, observational style, capturing models Melinda Kiss and Valters Medenis within expansive, quiet landscapes. Photographed by Simone Paccini, the series emphasizes raw environments, moving from misty, fog-laden meadows to sun-drenched woodland clearings. The project integrates a blend of monochrome and earthy, desaturated tones, utilizing analogue film techniques to heighten the organic quality of the styling. Alessandro Ferrari leads the fashion styling, showcasing a mix of layered knitwear, patterned textiles, and structured outerwear that complements the rustic setting. The casting, managed by Sofia Michaud, rounds out the series with an introspective, candid approach that emphasizes the interplay between the subjects and the equestrian-inspired environment.
