Various Editorials: TWENTY Magazine Parts Play

Nov 2025

TWENTY Magazine’s ‘Parts Play’ editorial series explores the intersection of beauty and surrealism through a collection of high-concept portraits. Photographer Katja Mayer directs a visual study of form and texture, utilizing low-key chiaroscuro lighting to isolate human silhouettes and stylized details against stark, minimalist backdrops. The series features makeup artistry by Kosei Kitada, incorporating bold accents like feathered eyelashes and high-gloss lips to define the aesthetic. Set designer Andrew Lim Clarkson contributes a structured environment, integrating grid-based shelving to manipulate the frame’s geometry and composition. Supporting the editorial narrative, the work emphasizes tactile material contrasts, from delicate latex surfaces to deep rose textiles.
