May 2025
Vanguard Magazine’s City Freak editorial showcases a raw, high-fashion exploration of urban environments. Photographed by Daniil Kudryavtsev, the project utilizes an analogue film aesthetic and sharp, on-camera flash to document an alternative, street-leaning narrative that moves between industrial utility spaces and historical city architecture. The series leans into a layered, eclectic style, mixing voluminous tulle skirts and metallic bustiers with utilitarian details like leather harnesses, studded belts, and heavy faux fur. The imagery relies on a gritty, unpolished visual language—incorporating natural light and monochrome compositions—to capture a distinctive mood that bridges high-concept fashion with the textures of everyday city life.
