L'Officiel Italia

Jun 2026

L'Officiel Italia reimagines the boundaries of luxury fashion editorial in this captivating feature starring Anya Taylor-Joy. Under the expert eye of photographer Szilveszter Mako and the sharp editorial vision of fashion director Giulia Martinelli, the project leans into a surrealist aesthetic that masterfully blends high-fashion portraiture with classical still-life elements. Through a series of highly stylized compositions, the imagery employs clever manipulations of scale and perspective, often placing the actress atop oversized dinner plates or amidst dramatic table-setting props. These conceptual choices, brought to life by set designer Nicholas des Jardins, transform the frame into a dreamlike canvas where architectural garments and organic textures exist in constant dialogue. The project utilizes a mix of studio strobe lighting, crisp low-key chiaroscuro, and 3D render CGI techniques to maintain a high-contrast, graphic quality that feels both timeless and avant-garde. Stylist Lisa Jarvis curates a wardrobe of structured silhouettes, lace, and voluminous ruffles, all of which are complemented by the precise hair styling of Gregory Russell and refined makeup by Georgie Eisdell. By merging the polished elegance of a fashion magazine cover with the uncanny nature of surrealist art, the feature creates a visually arresting experience that challenges traditional portrait photography while highlighting the intricate details of high-fashion design.
