Vogue Philippines: Out of Town

Jul 2025

Out of Town is a fashion editorial for Vogue Philippines that explores the interplay between avant-garde silhouettes and architectural surroundings. Through a series of tactile, highly structured garments—ranging from fringe-heavy skirts and voluminous faux-fur headwear to sculptural, petal-adorned pieces—the project channels a clean and refined visual language. Photographer Als Sunxiaoran captures model Xiuli Jiang in a variety of open-air and minimalist environments. The imagery leverages natural light, employing hard shadows and warm color grading to emphasize the depth of the fabrics and the graphic quality of the styling. Under the creative direction of Alexandre Dornellas, who also served as fashion editor, the series maintains a focus on textured layering and high-fashion form. The project features contributions from editor-in-chief Bea Valdes.
