Manifesto Magazine

Apr 2025

The April 2025 covers for Manifesto Magazine present an expansive editorial series that explores the intersection of high-fashion tailoring and atmospheric, location-based photography. Photographed by Keiichiro Nakajima and Mathieu Rainaud, the collection alternates between stark, minimalist studio portraits and textured, natural-light environments that range from modernist architecture to weathered outdoor settings. The editorial vision is shaped by fashion direction from Jonathan Yee and styling by Sarah Lam and Shino Itoi, creating a visual narrative that emphasizes intricate fabric textures and structured silhouettes. The imagery employs diverse techniques, moving from clean, monochrome studio setups to warm, analogue film-style captures. Featured talent including Kayako Higuchi, Konrad Bauer, and Viktoria Wirs anchor the editorial, with polished hair styling by Natsumi Ebiko and Yu Nagatomo and makeup by Asami Taguchi and Isis Moënne-Loccoz completing the look.
