The Metalhead Magazine: Criollo

Mar 2025

Criollo is a fashion editorial series featured in The Metalhead Magazine that explores the intersection of traditional craft and avant-garde structure. Photographed by Alejandro Arrias and David Bravo, the project leans into a moody, painterly aesthetic, utilizing tactile surfaces and earthy palettes to frame its subjects. Styling by Edgar Lopez centers on complex layering, incorporating intricate crochet, raw fringe, and sculptural braided hairpieces. The visuals draw on surrealist still-life motifs—including botanical prints, citrus, and religious iconography—to create an atmosphere that feels simultaneously grounded and conceptual. With a heavy emphasis on chiaroscuro and soft directional lighting, the series emphasizes the interplay between soft textile volumes and rigid, architectural garment forms.
