SCMP Style South China Morning Post Style Magazine

Dec 2025

SCMP Style's 'Special Cartier' editorial explores the intersection of high jewellery and contemporary fashion through a minimalist lens. Captured in a controlled studio setting, the project showcases iconic Cartier timepieces and sculptural fine jewellery pieces against high-contrast textures and neutral backgrounds. The imagery leans into a clean, editorial aesthetic that prioritizes the craftsmanship of the metallic and pavé-set details. Photographer Alexandra Utzmann directs the series with a focus on polished surfaces and soft, diffused light, while model Caro Casay provides a grounded, focused presence. Fashion editor Joanne M Kennedy curates the styling, pairing the jewellery with sharp, tailored silhouettes, tactile shearling, and monochromatic layers to maintain a cohesive visual narrative. Hair and makeup by Vi Sapyyapy and Hicham Ababsa accentuate the look with sleek, wet-look styling and refined, focused beauty palettes.
