Various Editorials: IMAGE Magazine - Opulent & Elegant

Nov 2025

IMAGE Magazine’s 'Opulent & Elegant' fashion editorial channels a sense of heritage through its exploration of high-fashion styling within historic, wood-paneled interiors. Photographed by Ekin Can Bayrakdar, the series leans into rich, tactile environments featuring antique tapestries, ornate furnishings, and vintage taxidermy to frame its subjects. The project makes extensive use of warm, soft lighting and a vertical composition style, which emphasizes the intricate detailing of the garments—ranging from velvet structures and feathered fringe to sheer lace and crystal embellishments. Each frame documents a consistent aesthetic of maximalist traditionalism, occasionally incorporating subtle film-like qualities to ground the editorial’s antique setting.
