About

This extensive fashion editorial series for Middle Plane Magazine, lensed by photographer Frank Lebon, presents a rigorous exploration of form, texture, and studio geometry. Featuring model Julia Banas, the collection employs a diverse range of technical approaches, from high-contrast flash and dramatic chiaroscuro to clean, natural light compositions. The series often leans into a minimalist aesthetic, utilizing stark white backdrops or vibrant monochrome settings that accentuate the architectural quality of the garments and styling. Creative direction by fashion editor Marie Chaix introduces a sculptural narrative to the work, seen through the integration of unconventional materials like industrial tape, ribbons, and tactile vinyl surfaces. The production benefits from the precise contributions of hair stylist Shiori Takahashi and makeup artist Mel Arter, who maintain a polished beauty aesthetic throughout. With set design by Jabez Bartlett and casting by Julia Lange, the imagery balances commercial appeal with an experimental sensibility.
