Various Editorials

Sep 2025

Beauty Projects Issue 2 presents a sophisticated editorial series centered on model Sara Blomqvist. Through a collection of studio and location-based portraits, the project explores the interplay between tactile textures, structural tailoring, and minimalist beauty aesthetics. Photographer Anya Holdstock captures the subject across diverse settings—ranging from stark, high-key studio environments to urban streetscapes—utilizing a mix of sharp, graphic lighting and diffused natural light to define the visual narrative. The editorial features fashion styling by Sophie Van Der Welle, who pairs intricate crochet and fringe garments with sleek leather pieces and sculptural metallic accessories. These looks are complemented by precise hair styling from Maki Tanaka, who frequently employs a slicked-back aesthetic to focus attention on the frame, and luminous, high-concept makeup artistry by Athena Paginton. The collection relies on minimalist composition and hard light techniques to highlight the textures of both the wardrobe and the subject’s environment.
