Vogue Philippines: The Shape Of Water

Dec 2025

The Shape Of Water is a comprehensive fashion editorial produced for Vogue Philippines, centered on the intersection of human form and natural, aquatic landscapes. Under the direction of Editor-in-Chief Bea Valdes, the project channels a serene and tactile narrative that emphasizes the interplay between structured textiles and organic environments. Photographer Karl King Aguña captures the series in a mix of warm color and monochrome tones, often utilizing analogue film techniques to highlight rich fabric textures and architectural silhouettes. Featuring model Suganya, the editorial leans into an earthy, atmospheric aesthetic, placing the subjects against lush forest canopies, river rapids, and rustic coastal settings. Fashion Editor and Stylist Pam Quinones complements these scenes with curated layers, bold patterns, and sculptural garments that harmonize with the raw, tranquil backgrounds.
