ICON Magazin Germany Uber Bande 2026

About

Uber Bande is a high-fashion editorial series produced for ICON Magazin Germany, showcasing dynamic, gravity-defying movement against the backdrop of classical stone architecture. Captured by photographer Katia Wik, the project explores the interplay between avant-garde couture and weathered, historical settings. Model Isadora Ribeiro anchors the series, performing athletic poses and expressive, windswept movements that contrast with the static, ornate stone reliefs and urban monuments. Fashion stylist Serena Pompei utilizes a range of textures, from shimmering sequins and vibrant feathered gowns to structured velvet, to create a visual dialogue between modern fabric sheen and organic, granular stone surfaces. The editorial relies on natural light to highlight deep color palettes and precise tailoring, maintaining a consistent focus on clean, architectural composition.
