WSJ: The State of Couture
Jun 2025
For The State of Couture, WSJ features a high-fashion editorial series capturing the structural and sculptural nature of modern luxury garments. Photographed by Nadine Ijewere, the project leans into clean, vertical compositions that emphasize textural contrasts, from pleated silhouettes and feathered headpieces to heavy tweed sets. Fashion styling by Kate Phelan defines the aesthetic, utilizing bold accessories and layered textures against minimalist studio backdrops. The imagery incorporates warm tones and geometric circular motifs, with model Apolline Rocco Fohrer fronting the editorial. The production features hair by Ali Pirzadeh and makeup by Min Kim, utilizing natural light and analogue film techniques to refine the series.
