L'Officiel Austria: Macabre on a Wednesday Morning

Aug 2025

Macabre on a Wednesday Morning is a monochrome fashion editorial produced for L'Officiel Austria, featuring a series of stark, high-contrast studio portraits. The collection leans into an avant-garde and gothic-inspired aesthetic, utilizing dramatic, low-key lighting to emphasize sharp tailoring, structured silhouettes, and ornate accessories such as lace collars, leather harnesses, and intricate corsetry. Photographer Stefan Kokovic captures the subjects against minimalist grey and black backdrops, blending theatrical poses with surreal, conceptual elements. The project showcases a range of menswear and womenswear, defined by experimental tailoring—including exaggerated shoulder pads and pinstriped blazers—and dramatic styling details like floor-length braids, bleached eyebrows, and industrial goggles. Through the use of soft, directional light and high-contrast monochrome tones, the editorial achieves a moody, atmospheric narrative that explores texture and form in a refined fashion context.
