Vogue Philippines On Solid Ground 2025

About

Vogue Philippines presents On Solid Ground, a fashion editorial project that explores the intersection of organic landscapes and high-end apparel. Photographed by Levon Baird and styled by Carlos Mangubat, the series features models positioned within diverse outdoor environments, ranging from dense forest settings to rugged stone formations. The editorial employs a clean, minimalist art direction that allows the textures of the clothing to contrast against natural backdrops. Throughout the series, the imagery utilizes natural light to emphasize the fluidity of draped gowns and the structured details of accessories. The project incorporates macro portraiture alongside full-length compositions, capturing a polished aesthetic that balances raw, earthly surroundings with refined fashion styling.
