Luncheon Magazine

May 2026

Luncheon Magazine continues its tradition of pushing the boundaries of contemporary visual storytelling with its #21 S/S 2026 cover series. This latest iteration in the magazines, media, and entertainment sector functions as a masterclass in editorial portraiture, deftly bridging the gap between high-concept experimental fashion and timeless photography. The project leans into a raw, tactile aesthetic, most notably through a striking portrait of Saskia de Brauw. Captured by photographer Jordan Hemingway, the image utilizes low-key chiaroscuro lighting and cinematic composition, shot on analogue film to emphasize the sculptural, voluminous drapery of the garment. This deliberate focus on depth and mystery provides a sharp, sophisticated contrast to the issue's second cover, which employs a crisp studio strobe technique to illuminate the intricate layers of a tulle ballgown. Throughout the series, the influence of fashion editor and stylist Léopold Duchemin is palpable, with the visual narrative feeling both composed and fiercely avant-garde. By integrating the work of set designer Léonard Bougault and hair and makeup experts, the editorial team successfully establishes a dialogue between form, fabric, and texture. The result is a publication that feels less like a traditional periodical and more like a curated gallery of portraiture, reaffirming Luncheon as a vital platform for artists who view the page as a canvas for experimental fashion design.
