Nu Icons
Photography by Vincent Kabbara
Apr 2025
Photographer Vincent Kabbara collaborates with model Mameanta Wade and makeup artist Hind Sousan for this editorial fashion series for Nu Icons. The collection is defined by high-contrast aesthetics and a focus on sculptural, tactile elements, ranging from intricate knitwear and metallic embellishments to dramatic accessory styling. Throughout the series, the imagery leans into bold color-blocking and saturated gradients. The work utilizes a variety of lighting techniques, moving between clean studio setups that emphasize glossy textures to moody, low-key chiaroscuro compositions. These portraits highlight a deliberate interplay between vivid hair styling and graphic, textured backdrops, creating a theatrical and cohesive visual narrative.
