About

For SCMP Style’s Her Dark Materials, photographer Ricardo Beas delivers a minimalist fashion editorial that centers on structural silhouettes and tactile garment details. The series leans into a clean, studio-based aesthetic, utilizing natural light and directional shadows to emphasize textures ranging from heavy leather and lace to structured denim and sleek tailoring. Featuring model Ryleabeth, the project maintains a sophisticated, desaturated mood throughout. Fashion editor and stylist Aryeh Lappin directs the wardrobe narrative, complemented by clean hair styling from Chika F.K and bold, precise makeup artistry by Tomoyo Pattou, with casting overseen by Shawn Dezan.
