Vogue Scandinavia

Sep 2026

Vogue Scandinavia turns its lens toward the intersection of automotive nostalgia and contemporary luxury in this striking editorial series captured by photographer Marco van Rijt. The project masterfully bridges the gap between high-fashion editorial aesthetics and lived-in lifestyle photography, grounding its visual narrative in a collection of classic vintage Mercedes-Benz sedans. Through a clean and minimalist lens, the series celebrates structured silhouettes, highlighted by the intricate layering of textured knitwear and sleek leather outerwear. The creative vision is anchored by the sharp styling of Rikke Wackerhausen, whose careful curation of textures—ranging from woven fabric strips to metallic accents—adds depth against stark, sun-drenched environments. With grooming contributions from hair stylist Jesper Hallin and makeup artist Viktoria Sörensdotter, the models, including Anna Viksoe, Arvid Kaldo, and Liva Been, project an air of composed intensity that remains perfectly aligned with the publication's signature refined tone. Utilizing natural light and live-action technique to accentuate the interplay of light and shadow on the asphalt, the shoot emphasizes a deliberate, cinematic pace. By eschewing over-production in favor of clean, direct compositions, the collaboration effectively captures a modern fashion aesthetic that feels both timeless and urgent, proving that even the most high-concept luxury fashion remains most impactful when framed by the honest, cooling influence of classic design and deliberate simplicity.
