absence

knit. Ann Demeulemeester

Stillness asserts itself as a presence. Within a sculptural environment of inverted geometry and raw concrete, mass and gravity seem suspended, and the human form navigates between monumentality and restraint. The space evokes a quiet tension — austere yet expressive — where scale, light, and perception coexist with fleeting moments of calm.

Set in Tokyo, far from the city’s pace and density, and framed by mountain and forest, the imagery unfolds in a delicate balance between architecture, nature, and body. Moments of distance and restraint shape the atmosphere. Captured through a dialogue of digital and film photography, this Schön! editorial embraces texture, materiality, and timeless imperfection. Lensed and art-directed by Thanos Houtos, with fashion by Nana Iwata, featuring Lu Hongfei with hair by Mayo Osakabe and makeup by Natsumi Yamamoto.

hollow

full look. Gisele Claudia Ntsama

This Schön! editorial lensed by Matteo Cionti focuses on the nature of paranoia. A state of constant alertness fueled by a feeling of anxiety in the obsessive identification of signals perceived as lies. This generates a cycle of rumination: intrusive and cumbersome thoughts become the dark and narrow mental cage of the mind, isolating it from external reality. Fashion is by Guia Cavestro, who styles model Ligia Bobeica in looks by Gisele Claudia Ntsama, Premiata, Genny, and others. Hair by stylist Giuseppe Sestito with make up by Giuly Valent.
