W Magazine China: Back to the Future

Oct 2025

W Magazine China presents 'Back to the Future,' a high-concept fashion editorial that merges avant-garde silhouettes with minimalist set design. The project explores geometric forms and vibrant palettes, utilizing soft and hard studio lighting to emphasize sculptural textures in the apparel and staging. Photographer Nicola Delorme captures model Daria Strokous in a series of surreal, architectural compositions. The visual language relies on bold, clean lines and thematic props, leaning into retro-futuristic aesthetics. Creative direction by Jessica Jiang and fashion styling by Flora Huddart establish the collection's sharp, graphic identity, supported by set design from Tristan Tilagone, hair styling by Jacob Kajrup, and makeup by Allie Smith.
