Love Want Magazine

Sep 2025

Love Want Magazine presents an expansive fashion editorial titled 'You Don’t Have to Be the Best to Be the Greatest.' Featuring model Yasmin Wijnaldum, the series captures a series of intimate, varied portraits that shift between domestic interiors and outdoor, earthy landscapes. The work leans into a retro, nostalgic aesthetic, emphasizing raw textures and an approachable, grounded mood. Photographer Menelik Puryear utilizes analogue film techniques throughout the project, often framing compositions with visible film rebates and grain. The styling, managed by fashion editor Marti Arcucci, coordinates eclectic layers and patterns against simple, everyday backgrounds. Hair by Line Bille and makeup by Ingeborg maintain a natural, windblown look that complements the shoot's soft, natural lighting.
