The Perfect Magazine: pin ups

Mar 2025

For their 'Pin Ups' series, The Perfect Magazine delivers a sweeping fashion editorial that bridges the gap between classic portraiture and sculptural art. Photographer Sølve Sundsbø leads the project with a rigorous, high-contrast monochrome lens, isolating form and texture against neutral studio backdrops. The work channels a graphic, clean aesthetic that elevates everything from high-end jewelry and surreal still life to emotive character portraits. Fashion editor Jeanie Annan-Lewin curates a diverse wardrobe, shifting between structured tailoring, avant-garde costume pieces, and tactile knits. The editorial is further defined by the contributions of hair stylist Syd Hayes and makeup artist Val Garland, whose work ranges from soft, natural styling to bold, high-fashion beauty statements. Set designer Andrew Lim Clarkson provides the architectural framing for the series, grounding the imagery with precise, minimal staging that underscores the project's emphasis on silhouette and composition. The series relies on clear, directional lighting and traditional film techniques to maintain a sharp, archival quality throughout.
