Re-Edition Magazine
A drop fell on the apple tree
Apr 2026
In A drop fell on the apple tree, Re-Edition Magazine explores the intersection of high-fashion and raw, utilitarian environments through a series of evocative editorial portraits. This fashion project masterfully navigates the balance between the polished aesthetics of luxury fashion houses and the grit of everyday urban life. With photographer Ulrich Knoblauch at the helm, the imagery transitions seamlessly between stark studio strobe environments and industrial streetscapes, utilizing varied techniques such as flash photography and low-key chiaroscuro lighting to elevate the narrative. The project benefits significantly from the sharp, minimalist styling of Pia Abbar, whose choices underscore the structural complexity of the garments—from metallic ruffles to oversized technical windbreakers—while hair stylist Mélissa Rouillé and makeup artist Helene Vasnier provide a precise, high-fashion finish that highlights individual texture and expression. By integrating a diverse ensemble of models, including Aniek Pietersma and Balat Pal, the creative team succeeds in crafting a visual language that feels both immediate and timeless. The use of high-contrast monochrome imagery and deliberate, natural light compositions ensures that every fold of fabric and every shift in gaze is rendered with intention. Ultimately, this editorial portfolio stands as a testament to the power of collaboration, demonstrating how careful casting and technical mastery can transform fashion photography into a compelling, coherent study of contemporary style and human form.
