Vogue Ukraine: Zeitgeist

Sep 2025

Zeitgeist is a fashion editorial series for Vogue Ukraine, captured through an observational and documentary-style lens. The project explores sculptural tailoring and textural layering, juxtaposing avant-garde silhouettes against raw, urban, and architectural environments. Photographer Emil Dietrich utilizes natural light and analogue film techniques to create a grounded, tactile aesthetic that shifts between monochrome portraiture and muted, desaturated color palettes. Creative direction is driven by fashion editor and stylist Dennis Schneider, who curates a narrative defined by oversized outerwear, dramatic leather accents, and intricate details like feathered hemlines. The series, featuring model Miriam Ntuyang, emphasizes an understated beauty approach with makeup by Melanie Hoppe and production by Tiffany Winteler.
