Imagine SS26 Holly Humberstone

Jun 2026
For the SS26 edition of Imagine magazine, the editorial team presents a striking portrait session featuring musician Holly Humberstone, offering a bold visual narrative that blends high-fashion grit with a raw, introspective energy. Captured by photographer Simonas Berukstis, the cover story leans into a stark, industrial aesthetic, utilizing a minimalist concrete backdrop that allows the intricate texture of a metallic, sheer chainmail dress to take center stage. The interplay between the organic, grounded positioning of the talent and the sharp, imposing presence of the prop sword creates an evocative tension that feels distinctly modern. This magazine project is meticulously elevated through the creative vision of Fashion Editor Justin Hamilton, whose styling choices—particularly the pairing of the metallic hooded gown with subtle black lace fingerless gloves—establish a sophisticated yet edgy editorial language. The visual impact is further refined by hair stylist Sandra Hahnel and makeup artist Rebecca Davenport, who maintain a polished, focused look that bridges the gap between classic portraiture and avant-garde media design. By relying on natural light, the photography retains a genuine, unvarnished quality, perfectly complementing the crisp typography of the magazine layout. Under the guidance of Editor-in-Chief Huw Gwyther, this cover serves as a masterclass in fashion-forward storytelling, proving that thoughtful collaboration across styling and artistry remains the heartbeat of contemporary media and entertainment production.
