Numero Netherlands CHLOROPHYLL DREAMS 2025

About

CHLOROPHYLL DREAMS is a fashion editorial series for Numero Netherlands that explores the intersection of avant-garde tailoring and organic, surrealist forms. Photographer Vazha Kuchuloria and fashion stylist Mike Stallings collaborate to construct a series of high-contrast portraits that place menswear silhouettes alongside botanical elements like oversized floral headpieces, dried roses, and sculptural foliage. The work leans into a moody, tactile aesthetic, utilizing both dramatic studio lighting and soft natural light to emphasize glossy textures and intricate costume details. The series combines monochromatic, clean compositions with warm, earth-toned palettes, reinforcing the project's focus on structured, sculptural fashion styling.
