Vogue Portugal
In the Shadow of Excess
Dec 2025
Vogue Portugal's editorial, "In the Shadow of Excess," presents a high-fashion study of jewellery and silhouette. Captured by photographer Catharina Pavitschitz, the series centres on model Yada Villaret, showcasing a range of statement pieces—from cascading diamond chokers to sculptural cocktail rings—set against clean studio backdrops. Fashion editor Joanne M Kennedy leads the styling, incorporating textured fabrics and bold structural elements to complement the intricate metallic work. With beauty direction by Sofia Lucas and detailed makeup artistry from Michelle Dacillo, the imagery leverages minimalist, polished aesthetic techniques to focus on light, texture, and form. Manicures by Chiara Ballisai provide the finishing detail for this series, which balances high-contrast portraiture with soft, directional beauty lighting.
