SCMP Style magazine presents Touch of Class, a fashion editorial capturing a series of poised, high-contrast looks on model Saphira Krumhaar. Photographed by David Roemer, the project explores the interplay between tactile textures and minimal, neutral environments. The series features a curated selection of layered silhouettes, ranging from voluminous fur stoles and textured heavy coats to intricate evening wear. Fashion stylist Aryeh Lappin directs the wardrobe, focusing on sleek lines and refined detailing, while the visual identity is anchored by soft light and clean, directional studio compositions. Completing the editorial are hair styling by Gavin Harwin, makeup by Rie Omoto, and manicures by Maki Sakamoto. The project makes use of varied editorial techniques, including monochrome and earthy color palettes, to achieve its polished, contemporary aesthetic.
