The Travel Almanac

Jul 2025

Thue Nørgaard captures a series of avant-garde fashion editorials for The Travel Almanac Issue 26, exploring the intersection of structure and texture. With creative direction from Paul Kominek, the series leans into a minimalist aesthetic, juxtaposing sharp studio portraiture against raw urban settings. Styling by Anastasia Barbieri highlights complex layering, often blending industrial-inspired garments with whimsical, sculptural headwear and high-contrast silhouettes. Technically precise and visually evocative, the work employs a mix of soft studio lighting and directional natural light. Hair stylist Kalle Eklund and makeup artist Stéphane Marais contribute to the project’s distinct visual identity through expressive, high-fashion styling and dramatic, graphic beauty looks. The editorial maintains a cohesive, editorial quality that prioritizes tactile materiality and silhouette over narrative.
