Description

Purple Magazine presents Melides Art, an expansive fashion editorial captured by photographer Mark Borthwick. Set within the rugged terrain of a pine woodland, the series leans into an analogue aesthetic, utilizing natural light and organic film grain to frame its subject against stark, freestanding white monoliths. The juxtaposition of these minimal studio-like panels against wild, sun-drenched surroundings defines the project's visual language. Fashion direction by Laëtitia Gimenez Adam highlights a sculptural approach to outerwear and layered textures, featuring model Laura Ponte. The creative team includes hair stylist Pawel Solis, makeup artist Sara Fonseca, and casting director Simone Schofer, all contributing to the editorial's raw and nostalgic atmosphere. The imagery consistently employs a split-frame technique, emphasizing the interplay between constructed elements and the natural landscape.
