About

Marie Claire Arabia presents Residue, a fashion editorial series that examines texture and form through a minimalist lens. The project leans into a clean aesthetic, utilizing a consistent grey studio background to isolate subjects and elevate details ranging from sartorial knitwear and pinstripe tailoring to sculptural arrangements of everyday objects. The series features makeup artistry by Sharbel Hasbany, whose work on deep red palettes and defined brows is captured across beauty portraits and conceptual still lifes. Casting by Shimana and manicuring by Magda S complete the editorial focus, emphasizing intricate nail art and tonal jewel accents against monochromatic settings.
