About

In the latest Kellery feature for Marie Claire China, the intersection of architectural structure and soft human intensity takes center stage in this compelling fashion editorial. Through the lens of photographer Diego Larez, the project explores the interplay between rigid materials and fluid forms, showcasing voluminous taffeta skirts paired against structured leather jackets. The editorial leans into a refined minimalist aesthetic, utilizing a restrained, neutral-toned palette that shifts between solid grey backdrops to ensure the focus remains entirely on silhouette and texture. Larez, who also brought his precision to the hair styling, opts for slick, pulled-back looks that emphasize sharp, deliberate contours, creating a cohesive visual language across both studio strobe and natural light portrait captures. The imagery effectively balances the weight of heavy, high-fashion fabrics—like dark brown leather and floor-sweeping taffeta—with the fragile, focused expression of the talent. Each frame functions as a study in composition, utilizing professional lighting to highlight the subtle sheen of leather and the depth of complex garments. This series captures the essence of contemporary luxury fashion through a clean, graphic approach, ultimately resulting in a sophisticated narrative that feels both timeless and deeply rooted in modern editorial sensibilities.
