Vogue Portugal presents 'In the Shadow of Excess,' a high-fashion editorial series that explores the interplay between intricate high jewellery and sculptural textiles. Photographed by Catharina Pavitschitz, the project leans into minimalist studio aesthetics, utilizing controlled beauty lighting to emphasize the reflective surfaces of diamond-pavé chokers, statement gemstone rings, and ornate metallic hardware.
The series features model Yada Villaret, styled by Joanne M Kennedy, in a sequence of portraits that oscillate between clean, high-contrast silhouettes and intimate, tactile close-ups. With hair and makeup artistry by Michelle Dacillo and manicures by Chiara Ballisai, the imagery maintains a polished, editorial focus on texture and form. The project was executed under the editorial direction of Sofia Lucas.
