Love Want Magazine

Mar 2026

Outsiders, a compelling fashion editorial for Love Want Magazine, serves as a masterclass in controlled, graphic composition and textural interplay. By stripping away visual clutter, the project leans into a rigorous, minimalist aesthetic that allows the tactile quality of the materials—from matte leather and snakeskin to shimmering metallic fabrics—to take center stage. Under the lens of photographer Nagi Sakai, the series channels a sharp, modern energy, utilizing a combination of studio strobe lighting and crisp natural light to emphasize structural silhouettes. The editorial is elevated by the precise styling of Aryeh Lappin, which balances avant-garde forms with polished, commercial sensibilities. Against backdrops ranging from vibrant, geometric red tile grids to muted, clinical studio tones, model Brooke Gabel delivers a series of poised, direct-gaze portraits that anchor the high-fashion narrative. The technical execution is further supported by the clean, architectural set design of Ian Salter and the meticulous grooming of hair stylist Pasquale Ferrante and makeup artist Kuma, whose work ranges from muted, natural palettes to bold, mint-green lip statements. Outsiders ultimately reads as a sophisticated exploration of how luxury accessories and structured garments function as objects of art, seamlessly blending the line between traditional fashion photography and a curated, conceptual visual experience that feels both timely and timeless.
