Puss Puss Magazine

Mar 2025

Entertainer Lexie Liu takes centre stage in this expansive fashion editorial for Puss Puss Magazine, captured by photographer Nick Thompson. The series employs an evocative analogue film aesthetic, frequently incorporating visible film borders and marginal camera data to anchor the portraiture in a raw, tactile register. Working alongside fashion editor and stylist Phoebe Lettice Thompson, the production traverses a variety of settings—from stark studio environments to industrial backdrops and domestic scenes. The visual narrative relies on clean framing and varied lighting techniques, including natural light and soft directional sources, to highlight complex textures in the subject's layered apparel and the surrounding props. With art direction supported by set designer Ciaran Linden Beale, the shoot balances gritty, monochrome industrial elements with more intimate, warm-toned sequences. Hair by Daniel Martin and makeup by Joey Choy provide a polished, contemporary contrast to the retro-inspired film format. The production was overseen by Alexandra Georgette Oley, with Maria Joudina-Robinson serving as editor-in-chief.
