Sorbet Magazine

Apr 2026

In this evocative feature for Sorbet Magazine, titled Pia Jauncey, creative director William Buckley and photographer Axle Jozeph collaborate to craft a masterclass in high-fashion storytelling. The project serves as an immersive editorial campaign that masterfully synthesizes the grandeur of historical, opulent interiors with the avant-garde sensibilities of contemporary luxury fashion. By utilizing a sophisticated blend of natural light and moody, cinematic chiaroscuro, the team highlights the tactile tension between raw, voluminous textures—such as ostrich feathers and layered tulle—and the precise, cold brilliance of ornate gemstone jewelry. Fashion editor and stylist Mirko De Propris brings a curated edge to the narrative, pairing structured, tailored silhouettes with ethereal garments to create a visual dialogue of contrast and balance. Throughout the series, the subject is framed by dramatic, gilded settings that heighten the regal, theatrical atmosphere, while the recurring wet-look hair aesthetic and neutral makeup palettes ensure a modern, polished finish. Produced by Jean-Marc Mondelet, the editorial reads as a refined exploration of elegance, where every detail, from the sculpture of the clothing to the strategic placement of statement accessories, works to capture a timeless and highly curated aesthetic. This project exemplifies the power of thoughtful, texture-driven portraiture to elevate luxury fashion into a form of immersive, high-end art.
