Vogue Portugal: Under Pressure

Jun 2025

Vogue Portugal's 'Under Pressure' editorial explores the intersection of sculptural fashion and surreal studio composition. Photographer Anastasia Fursova captures the collection through a lens of high-contrast movement, utilizing vibrant color blocking and tactile set design to ground the avant-garde styling. The series leans into a graphic aesthetic, pairing voluminous silhouettes—from dramatic puff sleeves to metallic gold ruffles—against textured ochre and blue backdrops. The execution relies on a blend of moody, soft studio lighting and direct directional illumination to emphasize the intricate details of the garments and the ethereal, feather-like accents on the model’s face. This project prioritizes a raw, polished visual language, oscillating between static, painterly portraits and dynamic, acrobatic poses.
