L'Officiel Chile: OFFICE SURREALISM

Jul 2025

OFFICE SURREALISM is a fashion editorial series for L'Officiel Chile that explores the intersection of corporate iconography and high-fashion tailoring. Through a series of clean, minimalist studio portraits, the project juxtaposes avant-garde silhouettes with mundane office props, such as cardboard coffee carriers and abstract paper cutouts. Photographer Willy Villacorta captures the narrative against neutral studio backgrounds, utilizing a mix of directional and soft lighting to highlight graphic shapes and material textures. Fashion editor and stylist Melina Ferber anchors the series with structured garments, from voluminous puffer jackets to quilted dresses, modeled by Olaide Zainab. The work leans into a surreal aesthetic, relying on intentional, sharp compositions to frame the subject's interaction with sculptural, oversized accessories.
