The Travel Almanac

May 2026

In A Garden of Spells for The Travel Almanac, the boundaries of designer fashion are pushed through a series of striking, sculptural portraits that lean heavily into the intersection of avant-garde silhouette and minimalist restraint. Photographed by Casper Sejersen, the editorial campaign serves as a masterclass in texture, where the interplay of heavy, raw-edged wools, intricate herringbone patterns, and cascading silk fringes creates a visual language rooted in architectural precision. With fashion direction from George Krakowiak, the project eschews traditional artifice, opting instead for a deliberate, austere setting that allows each garment to command the frame. Through a combination of studio strobe lighting and soft, diffuse natural light, the series captures the tactile depth of the collection, whether emphasizing the voluminous, bell-shaped forms or the dramatic contrast of oversized faux fur. The imagery, often utilizing editorial minimalism, strips away the superfluous to center on the interplay between the subject and the garment’s structure. Profiles such as hair stylist Kalle Eklund and makeup artist Celine Martin ensure a clean, sharp aesthetic that perfectly complements the sculptural nature of the couture, while model Charlie Jones provides the grounding, neutral presence necessary to anchor the collection. This is a collection of images that reads as both timeless and fiercely contemporary, proving that true style resides in the tension between form and material.
