Vogue Latin America
A New York Minute





Dec 2025
Vogue Latin America captures the kinetic energy of Manhattan in A New York Minute, a sophisticated fashion editorial that masterfully juxtaposes high-end luxury styling with the grit of city living. Photographer Diego Bendezu brings a sharp, observant eye to the project, alternating between the clinical precision of studio strobe lighting and the erratic, high-contrast spontaneity of natural light found on urban sidewalks. Central to the narrative is model Naomy García, whose polished presence provides a calm anchor amidst the blurred yellow taxis and shadow-drenched architecture of the metropolis. Under the editorial guidance of María José Gonzálvez, the imagery leans into a refined aesthetic where structured wool capes and vibrant tailored blazers meet the tactile simplicity of light-wash denim. The work succeeds by balancing deliberate studio portraiture with dynamic, lifestyle-focused street photography, creating a visual rhythm that feels both timeless and urgent. Marco Castro’s makeup direction—highlighted by a recurring, punchy red lip—adds a necessary layer of cohesion to the collection, ensuring that the luxury garments remain the focal point even as the composition experiments with depth and environmental blur. Casting director Cheyma Hadji deserves credit for selecting talent that embodies the effortless, sophisticated spirit of the modern professional, resulting in a cohesive series that elevates the classic New York street style trope into something distinctly editorial.
