About

L'Officiel Chile presents 'FRAGMENTS OF SOUL,' a multi-faceted fashion editorial that leans into surrealist aesthetics and avant-garde silhouette construction. Captured by photographer Muraca, the series explores themes of texture and form through a series of striking, painterly portraits. Fashion editor and stylist Romina Morales anchors the visual narrative, utilizing intricate headpieces, bold metallic accents, and layered artisanal garments to define the mood. The execution employs a range of techniques, from chiaroscuro-driven low-key lighting to soft, luminous beauty light, creating an intimate study of model Louyse Mateus. Whether rendered in sharp monochrome or rich, earth-toned palettes, the work maintains a tactile sensibility throughout.
