Interview Magazine

Apr 2026

In this evocative series for Interview Magazine, photographer Theo Liu masterfully captures Hailey Bieber in a high-fashion editorial portrait campaign that seamlessly blends surrealist whimsy with sharp, luxury tailoring. Through a lens that leans into editorial minimalism, the project navigates a tension between the avant-garde and the classic, utilizing natural light to accentuate the rich, tactile textures of high-fashion ensembles. From the voluminous, marigold-hued ruffled gowns that play with architectural scale to the stark contrast of leather mini-dresses positioned against the gilded elegance of a classical harp, the imagery feels both grounded and dreamlike. Fashion director Dara orchestrates a visual narrative that avoids the expected, instead opting for bold, sculptural silhouettes that dominate the frame. The supporting creative team, including hair stylist Matt Benns and makeup artist Kennedy, ensures that every detail—from the subtle atmospheric smoke to the deliberate styling of statement accessories—serves to elevate the central portrait work. Set designer Ava Villafañe contributes a layered environment where antique vanities and dark, organic greenery act as foils to the model’s poised, playful disposition. This collection stands as a testament to the power of curated, high-concept fashion photography, where every composition functions as a rhythmic exploration of luxury, identity, and the art of the editorial portrait.
