Numero Russia Sandy Shadows 2025

About

Sandy Shadows is a fashion editorial series for Numero Russia, featuring a collection of desert-based imagery. The project leans into a moody aesthetic, utilizing natural light and high-contrast settings to highlight intricate textures in both apparel and environment. Photographer Mattia Holm captures subjects against desolate landscapes and weathered interiors, with styling by Aleksandra Markovic. The series makes use of editorial techniques like chiaroscuro to emphasize silhouettes against sand dunes and architectural ruins. By layering elements of surrealism and earthy tones, the project creates a tactile study of sculptural garment design within an expansive, sun-drenched atmosphere.
