About

In this sophisticated fashion editorial, Numero Netherlands captures actor Yara Shahidi in a series of striking visual compositions that lean into a high-contrast, dramatic aesthetic. Through the lens of photographer Tyler Patrick Kenny, the project explores the interplay between rigid structural silhouettes and organic, tactile details like oversized feathers, lace, and intricate mirrors. The editorial is a masterclass in controlled studio production, frequently utilizing studio strobe lighting to emphasize the depth of the vibrant red and monochromatic backdrops. Styled by Wilford Lenov, the wardrobe choices oscillate between architectural elegance and bold, avant-garde textures, while the beauty direction—crafted with precision by makeup artists Cherish Brooke Hill and Sherriann Cole—incorporates striking elements such as bleached eyebrows and deep, glossy lips to ground the high-fashion concept. Each portrait functions as a study in balance, where the deliberate use of negative space and crisp geometric framing elevates the subject into a sculptural icon. This collaboration effectively bridges the gap between classic luxury and contemporary art, resulting in a cohesive portfolio that feels both timeless and aggressively modern. By harmonizing meticulous manicuring by Tracy Clemens with the movement of layered textiles, the series maintains a rigorous focus on texture, creating a compelling narrative that celebrates the convergence of high-fashion and evocative portraiture in a minimalist, impactful way.
