V Magazine China ANJA RUBIK " THE FACES " ISSUE COVER ... 2026

About

For the V Magazine China The Faces issue, the collaboration between photographer Chris Colls and creative director Dou Qianlin Latrubesse yields a compelling fashion editorial that redefines luxury minimalism. Starring the iconic Anja Rubik, the feature captures a series of cinematic portraits that oscillate between gritty urban street scenes and the controlled, high-contrast atmosphere of a studio. The project leans into editorial minimalism, utilizing a strictly monochrome palette to elevate the intricate textures of lace, fur, and leather garments curated by fashion editor and stylist Jonathan Huguet. The visual narrative is defined by a sophisticated interplay of natural light and chiaroscuro, creating depth and dimension that highlight Rubik's architectural presence. Complementing the photography, Laurent Philippon’s artful styling of Rubik’s hair—varying from voluminous, tousled bobs to soft, wavy updos—pairs seamlessly with Marie Duhart’s clean, precise makeup application, anchoring the spread in professional high-fashion excellence. Whether leaning against vintage automobiles or posing against stark, seamless backgrounds, the imagery feels both timeless and sharp. By striping away extraneous details, the team creates a visual dialogue that emphasizes the interplay of fabric against skin, successfully channeling an aesthetic of refined, effortless elegance that remains a benchmark for contemporary editorial photography within the global luxury fashion industry.
