Numéro Switzerland

Mar 2026

This editorial showcase for Numéro Switzerland captures the boundary-pushing intersection of haute couture and fine art through the lens of photographer Jvdas Berra. Featuring the visionary, avant-garde creations of designer Iris van Herpen, the project presents a series of high-fashion portraits that emphasize architectural silhouettes and complex, organic geometry. The visual narrative leans into a dark, cinematic aesthetic, utilizing low-key chiaroscuro lighting to accentuate the intricate lattice-work and metallic textures inherent in van Herpen’s designs. Whether set against minimalist, brutalist-inspired concrete stairs or within cavernous, arched stone alcoves, the imagery remains strictly symmetrical, heightening the statuesque presence of the models. By integrating soft magenta highlights and deep, moody shadows, the production evokes a futuristic, almost ethereal atmosphere that feels both grounded and otherworldly. The collaboration highlights a meticulous commitment to form, with each frame serving as a study in movement and material. From skeletal filigree to fluid, cascading pleats, the project successfully elevates fashion editorial photography into a conceptual exploration of space and structure. Under the guidance of Editor-in-Chief Sebastián Magunacelaya, the resulting visual language is one of sophisticated precision, framing each garment not merely as clothing, but as a sculptural artifact displayed within a carefully curated, shadow-drenched environment that defines contemporary luxury fashion.
