System Magazine: Collections Autumn/ Winter 2025-2026

May 2025

System Magazine’s Collections Autumn/Winter 2025-2026 project serves as a comprehensive visual survey of contemporary seasonal tailoring and textile innovation. Photographed by Mark Kean and styled by Vanessa Reid, the series leans into a polished editorial aesthetic that emphasizes the sculptural volume and intricate craftsmanship of the featured garments. The imagery utilizes a blend of high-contrast monochrome tones and warm, saturated palettes to highlight diverse materials—ranging from textured leather and glossy vinyl to voluminous knits and intricate faux fur. The execution frequently employs soft, directional studio lighting to delineate the architectural lines of the clothing, maintaining a clean, minimalist focus throughout the series. Techniques such as analogue film and chiaroscuro lighting are used to introduce depth and grain, anchoring the portraits in a classic editorial sensibility. Casting, directed by Brandon Contreras, Helena Balladino, and Piergiorgio Del Moro, supports a dynamic range of poses that showcase the interplay between the models and the materiality of the fashion.
