Various Campaigns

Jun 2026

The Wannes Akop Spring 2026 campaign serves as a masterclass in editorial minimalism, stripping away the superfluous to highlight the interplay between structured fashion and urban architecture. Through the lens of photographer Casper van der Linden, the campaign embraces a timeless, cinematic quality that feels both rooted in classic traditions and entirely modern. Set against the storied backdrop of Paris, the imagery leans heavily into a high-contrast black-and-white aesthetic, utilizing low-key chiaroscuro lighting to carve out sharp silhouettes and deep, evocative shadows. The project captures model Estella Nolan in a series of poised, statuesque moments, where the deliberate stillness of the subject stands in stark relief against the kinetic energy of a city in motion. This visual narrative is expertly supported by the refined hair styling of Gor Duryan and the precise makeup application by Thomas Lorenz, both of which emphasize the collection’s clean lines and intricate textures. By integrating techniques such as medium format photography and analogue film, the project transcends simple product display, channeling an atmosphere of understated luxury. Every frame functions as an exercise in balance and composition, where architectural elements and soft natural light coalesce to define a sophisticated, avant-garde vision for the upcoming season that feels both intimate and grand in its execution.
