About

Minimacro is a fashion editorial series for D Repubblica that explores the interplay of scale and perspective. Photographer Carlijn Jacobs captures model Frauke Nijs as a giant figure navigating intricate architectural dioramas, ranging from European street scenes to modernist suburban landscapes. The work utilizes a surreal aesthetic to blend live-action portraiture with detailed miniature models. Fashion styling by Robbie Spencer anchors the series, featuring textured layers and bold palettes that contrast with the precise, small-scale environments. The production employs both clean natural light and dramatic high-contrast monochrome tones, utilizing techniques such as analogue film photography and visual effects to heighten the sense of surreal scale. Hair styling by Hester Wernert-Rijn and makeup by Kathinka Gernant complete the look throughout the campaign.
