Elle Japan

Aug 2026

In Hot Pursuit is a fashion editorial series for Elle Japan that explores the dynamic relationship between modern tailoring and luxury accessories. Photographed by Kizen Zhao, the series utilizes clean studio framing and neutral backdrops to emphasize the sharp silhouettes and textural details of the featured handbags. The editorial features Winter as the lead model, with hair styling by Yu Nagatomo and makeup by Azusa Matsumori. Across the spread, the imagery pivots between posed studio portraits and rhythmic, active compositions that lean into lifestyle aesthetics. Natural light and soft studio illumination are used to create tonal separation between the models and their accessories, maintaining a focus on the contemporary styling throughout the feature.
