V Magazine
Work it Out!
Jun 2026
Work It Out! for V Magazine serves as a masterclass in modern editorial photography, blending high-end luxury fashion with a nostalgic, mid-century roadside aesthetic. Through the lens of iconic photography duo Luigi & Iango, the project leans into cinematic storytelling, transforming the quintessential retro motel and neon-soaked diner backdrop into a stage for avant-garde styling. Under the sharp creative guidance of fashion editor Anna Trevelyan, the imagery utilizes bold architectural geometry—ranging from pink and teal pastel panels to towering vintage signage—to provide a stark, high-contrast canvas for the collection. The visual narrative is defined by a polished, edgy aesthetic, captured expertly using natural light to emphasize the rich textures of faux furs, lace, and structural silhouettes worn by model Karoline Niek. With precise movement direction from Marly Phillips Nicol, each frame feels purposeful and taut, channeling a sleek, high-fashion sensibility that feels both grounded in lifestyle photography and elevated by dramatic, cinematic flair. Hair by Lauren Berrones and makeup by Georgi Sandev complete the striking portraiture, pushing the boundaries of classic beauty to match the vibrant, saturated environment. This project stands as a definitive exploration of space and style, proving that luxury fashion thrives when paired with a calculated, nostalgic atmosphere that demands the viewer's immediate and undivided attention.
