Solace of the Wild is a fashion editorial series produced for Vogue Hong Kong, blending rugged outdoor landscapes with minimalist studio portraiture. The project explores themes of contrast and texture, balancing the structured silhouettes of high-fashion tailoring with the raw, expansive atmosphere of rural highlands and rolling hills.
Photographed by Daniel Benson, the series leans into an aesthetic characterized by earthy tones and monochrome palettes, often utilising grainy, analogue film techniques to heighten the sense of timelessness. The styling, curated by Thea Lewis-Yates, juxtaposes voluminous coats and intricate knitwear against delicate fabrics like silk and lace. With hair and makeup by Emil Zed and casting by Marina Fairfax, the editorial features model Esme Cornelius throughout, grounding the collection in a contemplative and moody visual narrative.
