About

Middle Plane Issue No. 13 features a series of fashion editorials captured by photographer Frank Lebon, centered on model Julia Banas. The collection leans into an editorial aesthetic, utilizing distinct lighting techniques—from natural light and moody, high-contrast scenes to saturated colored lighting—to shape the visual narrative. Creative direction is driven by stylist Marie Chaix, who coordinates the fashion alongside a collaborative team. The production integrates set design by Jabez Bartlett to establish geometric and structural backgrounds, while hair by Shiori Takahashi and makeup by Mel Arter define the polished, conceptual style of the portraits. Casting for the feature was overseen by Julia Lange.
