Wonderland Magazine

Jul 2026

Mario Sorrenti brings his legendary lens to this striking editorial portfolio for Wonderland Magazine, crafting a visual narrative that cuts through the noise of modern fashion media. Working in close collaboration with fashion editor Alastair McKimm, the project leans into the raw, emotive power of portraiture, stripping away unnecessary artifice to focus on the interplay between identity and architecture. Captured with an analogue film aesthetic, each image utilizes high-contrast natural light to sculpt the subjects against stark, minimalist backdrops, creating a sense of low-key chiaroscuro that feels both timeless and urgent. The project features a diverse roster of talent including Miley Cyrus, 070 Shake, and Kelela, whose individualistic energy is amplified by the precise, cinematic framing characteristic of Sorrenti’s body of work. By blending luxury fashion sensibilities with a gritty, unvarnished approach to styling, the editorial strikes a balance between high-end polish and authentic human expression. With meticulous contributions from hair stylist Recine and makeup artist Diane Kendal, the visuals achieve a cohesive, textured finish that elevates the subjects beyond mere models, repositioning them as icons within the luxury fashion landscape. It is a masterclass in controlled minimalism, demonstrating how a singular artistic vision can transform the static portrait into a compelling, nuanced study of style, form, and cultural presence.
