The Face Magazine

Dec 2025

In the latest editorial production for The Face Magazine, titled Feel the city, roll the dice, the imagery deftly navigates the tension between urban grit and elevated, high-fashion storytelling. Through a series of carefully curated compositions, the project creates a visual narrative that oscillates between raw, documentary-style captures on rain-slicked city streets and intimate, surrealistic portraiture set against domestic backdrops. Central to the work is the precise vision of fashion editor and stylist Hollie Williamson, who brings a distinct sensibility to the wardrobe, balancing structured, oversized tailoring with intricate, tactile details like sculptural ruffles and metallic pins. The aesthetic relies heavily on the soft, diffused quality of natural light to enhance the rich textures of the garments, from heavy knitted wools to shimmering satin. The technical execution, supported by the deliberate hair styling of Olivier Noraz and the sharp, evocative makeup artistry of Masae Ito, grounds the more abstract, surrealist elements—such as the chandelier-headed subjects—within a palpable, earthy reality. This editorial project channels a sense of studied spontaneity, leaning into a lo-fi, grainy aesthetic that feels simultaneously vintage and entirely contemporary. By moving seamlessly from open-doorway silhouettes to lush, indoor velvet-clad interiors, the shoot transforms the mundane cityscape into a canvas for high-style experimentation, proving that even in the most everyday settings, a refined eye for craft can render the atmosphere profoundly cinematic.
