Vogue Czechoslovakia

Aug 2026

Vogue Czechoslovakia embraces a season of stark, controlled elegance with Tento způsob léta zdá se mi poněkud, a high-fashion editorial that strips away visual clutter to prioritize pure form and tactile exploration. Under the guidance of creative director and stylist Alexandre Dornellas, the series channels a sharp, minimalist aesthetic that leans into architectural silhouettes and monochromatic palettes. Photographer Jonathan Wolpert captures these portraits using a precise blend of studio strobe and natural light, resulting in a clean, high-key look that emphasizes the rich textures of leather, suede, and intricate fringe. The project finds its strength in its restraint; hair stylist Silvio Giorgio complements this vision with sleek, slicked-back looks that draw focus to the models' natural features and intense expressions. By integrating experimental elements—such as subtle motion blur, macro details, and deliberate props like translucent ice blocks or graphic studio speakers—the work transcends standard editorial portraiture. It reads as a sophisticated study of composition and geometry, where every fold of fabric and every shadow is meticulously placed. Casting director Bill Macintyre secures a diverse, focused ensemble that anchors the shoot's ethereal mood, ensuring the narrative remains centered on the interplay between the human form and high-fashion design. The resulting imagery is both serene and intellectually demanding, cementing the project as a definitive statement on contemporary editorial minimalism.
