W Korea

Jul 2025

W Korea features actor Charlotte Gainsbourg in a multifaceted editorial series that captures the intersection of classical portraiture and contemporary fashion. Photographed by Peter Ash Lee, the series leans into an intimate aesthetic, utilizing a warm color palette and a mix of natural light and flash techniques to define the subjects within ornate, historically rich settings. The imagery moves through varied compositions, from interior shots set against parquet flooring and gilded mirrors to outdoor sequences in sunlit stone courtyards. Yuji Okuda provides hair styling that complements the project’s nostalgic, analogue film-inspired texture. The editorial highlights intricate furnishings, including sculptural vessels and antique lacquered screens, framing Gainsbourg in structured velvet and satin tailoring.
