About

For Marie Claire Mexico, the Animale editorial project presents a masterclass in high-fashion storytelling, balancing the primal intensity of animal prints with a sophisticated, avant-garde sensibility. Captured by photographer Mattia Holm, the series seamlessly transitions between two distinct visual languages: the crisp, high-key precision of studio strobe sessions and the moody, low-key chiaroscuro that defines the campaign’s more cinematic, dark-toned portraits. Working under the vision of fashion editor and stylist Aleksandra Markovic, model Astrid Baauer embodies the project’s central duality. The styling leverages intricate, tactile textures—from voluminous, wispy feathers to structured leather and bold, graphic leopard patterns—to create a sense of raw, sophisticated energy. Produced by Jean Cabacungan-Jarvis, the shoot prioritizes an editorial minimalism that allows the garment details and elaborate hair-and-makeup work to stand at the forefront. Whether set against the stark, clinical emptiness of a bright white backdrop or emerging from the shadows of an indistinct, dramatic void, each portrait functions as a study in contrast. By integrating these elevated techniques, Animale succeeds as a definitive statement in luxury fashion, focusing on the interplay of movement, light, and materiality to define a modern, sharp-edged aesthetic that feels both timeless and aggressively current.
