Study Magazine

Mar 2026

In this striking editorial feature for Study Magazine, photographer Joséphine Løchen explores the intersection of architectural structure and fluid minimalism. Through a series of high-fashion portrait shots, the work examines the tension between sharp tailoring and tactile experimentation. Løchen utilizes precise studio strobe and natural light setups to emphasize the interplay of textures, ranging from sleek patent leather and glossy coats to complex, patchwork ruffles and dense, layered fringe. Under the direction of Editor-in-Chief Christopher Niquet, the series channels an avant-garde sensibility where clothing becomes sculptural form. Stylist Rae Boxer curates a diverse wardrobe, expertly pairing crisp white button-downs and structured blazers with unexpected accessories like coin-disk belts and ruffled mules to build depth in each composition. The project is further elevated by the deliberate hair artistry of Akemi Kishida, whose work varies from tousled updos to voluminous, textured styles, complemented by the clean, sophisticated makeup palettes of artist Christine Corbel. Casting directors Andrea Prato and Daniel von der Graf anchor the series with models whose direct, composed gazes demand the viewer’s full attention. By placing every subject against a consistent, neutral grey backdrop, Løchen distills the fashion editorial genre down to its essential elements, letting the interplay of silhouette, movement, and material speak for itself while maintaining a cohesive and modern aesthetic throughout the entire collection.
