HERO Magazine The Eternal Dream 2026

About

The Eternal Dream is a fashion editorial commissioned for HERO Magazine, exploring atmospheric storytelling through a series of monochrome portraits. Photographed by Gino Gurrieri, the series utilizes analogue film and natural light to capture subjects within evocative outdoor environments, ranging from dense woodland settings to historic funerary architecture. Fashion styling by Vincent Van Laeken emphasizes texture and layering, featuring dark, structured outerwear, sheer veils, and embellished garments that contrast against the organic backdrop of stone markers and foliage. With casting by Simon van Stigt, the project features models Just Verhoeff, Luka Hoogedeure, and Mohamed Isse, relying on a grainy, gritty aesthetic to achieve a moody, cinematic tone.
