Nov 2025

W Magazine marks its 2025 Art Issue, Vol VI, with a multi-layered editorial feature starring actor Jennifer Lawrence. The project explores the intersection of portraiture and publication, utilizing both candid outdoor photography and fine art interpretation. Photographer Wolfgang Tillmans leads the visual direction, capturing the subject in diverse settings ranging from weathered urban exteriors to controlled studio environments. Creative directors Charles Levai and Kevin Tekinel oversee the composition, which balances traditional cover typography with film-strip style frames and painterly rendering. The issue incorporates watercolour techniques and raw textures to evoke a tactile sensibility, supported by editorial styling that transitions between clean, soft-lit beauty close-ups and naturalistic street-side portraiture.
