Schön! Switzerland

Jun 2026

Schön! Switzerland captures a compelling tension in Apollo and Daphne, a high-fashion editorial that masterfully juxtaposes the delicate, sculptural world of couture with the raw, industrial grit of a boxing gym. Through the lens of photographer Mattia Holm, the series leans into an aesthetic of profound contrast, placing avant-garde, voluminous gowns and ethereal, feathered garments against the stark backdrop of red-roped rings and punching bags. The project, styled by Raytell Bridges with hair artistry by Niko Weddle, finds a unique balance between the fragile elegance of the models and the inherent intensity of the athletic environment. Utilizing a mix of cinematic natural light and moody chiaroscuro, the imagery emphasizes texture and silhouette, from intricate lattice-style cutouts to the luminous, glowing skin captured in intimate portraiture. Model Anastasiia Koval embodies this duality, navigating the space between ethereal grace and athletic strength with a gaze that is both polished and formidable. By blending studio strobe techniques with the moody, dim ambiance of a gym, the collection achieves a sophisticated narrative that feels both conceptual and grounded. This editorial serves as a masterclass in visual storytelling, where every detail, from the tactile denim vests to the heavy gold-toned jewelry, heightens the interplay between the refined garment and the rugged setting.
