Various Campaigns
Marina Raphael

May 2026
Marina Raphael elevates the art of contemporary accessory design through this sophisticated fashion campaign, which expertly balances structural minimalism with high-end editorial flair. Photographed by Ethan Hart, the project leans into a clean, refined aesthetic that allows the brand’s leather goods to command the frame. The imagery features model Nyasha Matonhodze, whose poise anchors the composition, standing against a subdued light grey background that emphasizes the interplay between texture and silhouette. With art direction from Theophile Hermand and styling by Lily Rimmer, the work adopts a polished editorial approach, utilizing studio strobe lighting to deliver a crisp, high-contrast look that highlights the intricate detailing of the handbags. The collaboration extends to the meticulous grooming by hair stylist Moe Mukai and makeup artist Anete Salinieka, whose work frames the subject with a balanced, neutral confidence. Phoebe Shakespeare’s set design remains deliberately sparse, ensuring the narrative focus rests squarely on the intersection of luxury craftsmanship and modern style. By stripping away extraneous elements, the campaign effectively showcases a portrait-driven vision that speaks to the timeless appeal of the collection. It is a masterful example of how precision in execution can define a brand’s visual identity in the competitive landscape of bags and accessories, proving that understated elegance remains the most enduring signature in modern fashion photography.
