System Magazine

May 2025

System Magazine explores the sculptural silhouettes and tactile complexity of the season's Collections Autumn/Winter 2025-2026. This expansive fashion editorial project prioritizes form and material, utilizing high-contrast monochrome and warm studio palettes to accentuate the intricate layering of plaid, leather, faux fur, and sheer textiles. Through a minimalist lens, the imagery focuses on sharp tailoring and architectural draping. Photographer Mark Kean leads the visual direction, working alongside fashion editor Vanessa Reid to craft a series of dynamic, studio-based portraits. The execution leans into a classic analogue aesthetic, employing soft directional lighting and distinct film grain to heighten the tactile quality of the featured garments. The production is supported by hair styling from Tom Wright and makeup artistry by Lucy Bridge, with casting overseen by Brandon Contreras, Helena Balladino, and Piergiorgio Del Moro.
