Vogue Philippines: Corporate Underground

May 2025

Vogue Philippines’ Corporate Underground editorial subverts the traditional office environment through a lens of high-fashion surrealism. The project explores the intersection of sterile, fluorescent-lit workspaces and sophisticated tailoring, leaning into a moody, cinematic aesthetic. Photographer Mattia Holm collaborates with fashion editor and stylist Nata Bocha to craft scenes that juxtapose structured business wear with dynamic, chaotic office interventions. The visual language utilises low-key lighting, desaturated tones, and chiaroscuro techniques to heighten the theatrical tension within the frame. Production designer Milena Gorum reinforces the narrative with sterile, industrial interiors, while hair by Eddy Scudo and makeup by Dmitry Kukushkin provide a polished, sharp finish. Casting director Gabriel Rey rounds out the ensemble, featuring models Houjing Cui, Jackson Jarrell, and Max Gottschalk.
