Vogue Singapore Photography Arseny Jabiev 2026

About

In this evocative series for Vogue Singapore, photographer Arseny Jabiev masterfully blends historical textures with contemporary silhouettes to redefine the visual language of high-fashion editorial. The project functions as a sophisticated study in contrast, where intricate toile de jouy wallpaper and ornate antique settees serve as a rich, maximalist canvas for the model, Amanda Murphy. Jabiev leans into a dynamic interplay between studio strobe setups and natural light, capturing moments that range from candid, joyful intensity to structured, architectural stillness. With fashion editing and styling by Coke Ho, the wardrobe choices act as bold narrative devices; sheer polka-dot layers, vibrant hosiery, and dramatic opera gloves are juxtaposed against minimalist knitwear, creating a curated tension that feels both timeless and aggressively modern. The hair styling by Junya Nakashima, featuring voluminous curls and effortless textures, perfectly complements the layered construction of the garments. By balancing the clinical precision of the studio portrait with the cinematic depth of his natural light compositions, Jabiev elevates the shoot beyond mere clothing display. It is an exercise in editorial minimalism, where the deliberate focus on tactile details—lace, satin, and leather—anchors the visual storytelling, resulting in a cohesive, polished portfolio that captures the evolving spirit of luxury fashion houses through a singular, artful lens.
