Vogue Philippines

Mar 2026

Soft Circuit for Vogue Philippines emerges as a masterclass in avant-garde fashion editorial, meticulously curated by creative director and stylist Alexandre Dornellas. This high-fashion series pushes the boundaries of luxury aesthetics through a stark, monochromatic lens, prioritizing structural integrity and textural depth. Captured with the precision of photographer Abdullah Artuev, the project leans into a minimalist, high-key studio environment to underscore the sophisticated interplay between deconstructed garments and rigid, architectural silhouettes. The imagery features models Shan Li, Sijia Kang, and Yaxin Cao, whose identical blunt-cut bobs and bold, dark lipstick create a uniform, graphic language that ties the diverse range of couture pieces together. From intricate crystal-encrusted masks to layers of ruffled lace and metallic chain headpieces, every frame emphasizes the tactile quality of the fabrics. Expertly balanced by hair stylist Dalibor Vrtina and makeup artist Maria Olsson, the series oscillates between the clinical crispness of studio strobe lighting and the soft, organic definition of natural light. By integrating high-end designer pieces from houses like Chanel and Givenchy with sculptural, experimental styling, the editorial channels a distinctively modern, polished energy. The result is a rigorous examination of form and geometry, where every pose and fabric fold serves as a deliberate exploration of contemporary high fashion, perfectly distilled for the pages of Vogue.
