This WWD fashion editorial, featured in the September 18, 2025 edition, highlights the couture work of designer Dilara Findikoglu. The project encompasses a series of studio portraits and location-based spreads for the publication's London Fashion Week Preview.
Photographer Fran Gomez de Villaboa captures the collection through a series of minimalist studio compositions that utilize soft, diffused lighting to emphasize avant-garde tailoring, intricate beadwork, and fringe detailing. The series shifts to an industrial setting for a 'Dark Arts' spread, integrating gothic tailoring against a backdrop of metal scaffolding and an overcast twilight sky. The work relies on clean, editorial framing and mood-driven aesthetics to define the visual narrative.
