Mixte: The Hidden Garden

Oct 2026

The Hidden Garden for Mixte is a fashion editorial series that places structured, layered apparel within raw, natural environments. Photographer Nicola Pagano captures the collection against backdrops of tall wheat fields and dense foliage, leaning into an earthy and organic visual language. The series employs both monochrome film and soft, natural light to emphasize the contrast between high-fashion silhouettes and untamed landscapes. The project features models Jessie Aina, Leah Risi, and Philippe Proust, with casting directed by Emma Farachi. The aesthetic moves between grainy, analogue-inspired textures and clean, studio-lit portraits, grounding the garments in both rustic settings and minimalist compositions.
