V Magazine

Jul 2026

V Magazine redefines the modern high-fashion editorial in this striking collaboration featuring model Sascha Raj. The project, which leans heavily into avant-garde silhouettes and dramatic contrasts, masterfully blends the worlds of luxury fashion houses and contemporary portraiture. Captured by the lens of renowned photographers Luigi & Iango, the series utilizes both crisp studio strobe lighting and soft natural light to emphasize the structural integrity of the garments. Under the expert eye of fashion editor B. Akerlund, the styling serves as the narrative anchor, juxtaposing delicate Victorian-inspired lace and ethereal ruffles against sharp, oversized accessories and bold black leather accents. This editorial aesthetic is further elevated by hair stylist Mari Watase’s gravity-defying, voluminous coiffures and Tayler Treadwell’s precision makeup work, which utilizes deep, moody lip colors to ground the ethereal attire. Through a combination of minimalist studio backdrops and high-contrast, chiaroscuro techniques, the imagery transforms high-fashion staples into sculptural art. By integrating the magazine's signature, bold pink typography with these monochromatic visual compositions, the project achieves a perfect balance between graphic design and high-end fashion photography. The result is a cohesive, high-impact collection that demonstrates the power of precise casting, led by Maxime Valentini, and a collaborative creative vision that feels both timeless and aggressively modern in its approach to fashion-forward proportions and storytelling.
