WSJ presents The New Swans, a fashion editorial series that explores structured silhouettes and theatrical motifs through a clean studio lens. The project leans into a mix of minimalist compositions and surreal elements, utilizing bright, even lighting to accentuate the textures of voluminous coats, faux-fur, and sculptural dress designs.
Photographer Zoe Natale Mannella documents the collection against seamless backdrops, with fashion styling by Gabriella Karefa-Johnson. The editorial draws on retro influences, incorporating vintage-inspired hair by Edward Lampley and refined makeup by Patrick Glatthaar. These portraits maintain a sharp, consistent visual language across all settings.
