Vogue Korea

Mar 2026

The latest editorial collaboration between Vogue Korea, Chanel, and Ester Kim serves as a masterclass in luxury fashion storytelling, blending structural precision with an inherent sense of play. Captured through the lens of photographer Peter Ash Lee, the series leans into editorial minimalism, allowing the intricate craftsmanship of Chanel’s latest collection to occupy the center stage. By utilizing studio strobe lighting to create a clean, crisp atmosphere, the imagery elevates the tactile qualities of the garments—from voluminous, pleated skirts that capture fleeting motion to the opulent feather trims that provide a sophisticated, textural contrast. Model Esther Kim anchors these high-fashion portraits with a versatile presence, shifting seamlessly between dynamic poses and static, composed frames. The visual narrative is further refined by the sleek, sharp lines defined by hair stylist Kyoko Kishita and the polished aesthetic sensibilities of makeup artist Tiziana Raimondo. Together, these elements harmonize to produce a sequence that feels both contemporary and timeless. Rather than relying on ornate backgrounds, the project embraces a neutral studio backdrop to emphasize the silhouette and movement of the pieces. This intentional restraint reinforces the prestige of the fashion house while simultaneously showcasing a modern approach to portraiture that remains deeply rooted in the high-fashion industry’s tradition of meticulous visual composition and impeccable styling.
