Side-note

Apr 2026

In the refined world of luxury fashion, Side-note presents a sophisticated editorial series that distills the essence of contemporary style into a series of striking, intentional portraits. Featuring model Aubri Ibrag, the campaign is a masterclass in editorial minimalism, leaning into a monochromatic color palette that allows the interplay of texture and silhouette to take center stage. Through the lens of photographer Dafy Hagai, each frame is meticulously composed against a neutral grey backdrop, effectively stripping away distraction to focus on the interplay between luxury garments and the subject’s composed, direct gaze. The styling, curated by Caitlin Moriarty, balances casual ease with sharp, structured accessories, while the beauty direction by hair stylist Lachlan Mackie and makeup artist Georgina Graham emphasizes a natural, luminous aesthetic that feels both timeless and current. By utilizing a hybrid approach of soft studio strobe lighting and natural light, the production captures a clean, cinematic quality that highlights the intricate details of knitwear, leather, and semi-sheer fabrics. This project serves as a compelling study in portrait photography, where the deliberate framing and soft lighting emphasize a modern, polished sensibility. It is an evocative look at how minimalist fashion storytelling can command attention through simple, powerful composition and a cohesive, understated visual language that resonates across the luxury sector.
