The Face Magazine: “don’t slip up”

Jun 2025

For The Face Magazine, "don’t slip up" is a fashion editorial series that juxtaposes gritty, nocturnal urban street scenes with high-contrast studio portraiture. The project leans into a cinematic aesthetic, frequently utilizing low-key chiaroscuro lighting to draw out the textures of leather, vinyl, and sheer fabrics against the dimly lit backdrop of city streets at night. Photographed by Alex Mader and styled by fashion editor Delphine Danhier, the narrative is built around a series of candid, motion-heavy shots featuring model Freya Nutter. The visual language shifts between harsh, direct flash photography and clean, studio-based color blocking on vibrant blue backdrops. Detailed production support, including hair by Michael Delmas, makeup by Rebecca Wordingham, casting by Franziska Bachofen Echt, and set design by Sati Leonne, reinforces the moody, atmospheric quality of the imagery.
