Stay raw. Stay final.

Streetwear has always been about self-expression, rebellion, and comfort—but today, it is undergoing a radical transformation. RAW TEXTURE represents a new wave of street fashion where the emphasis is on materials, texture, and layering rather than mere logos or trends. Designers are experimenting with raw, unpolished fabrics—distressed denim, brushed leather, mesh overlays, and technical textiles—that turn everyday clothing into wearable statements of individuality.
Oversized silhouettes paired with unexpected layering create depth and dimension, while rough seams, deconstructed hems, and bold stitching redefine traditional tailoring. Accessories are no longer secondary; chunky sneakers, functional backpacks, and statement jewelry contribute to the overall narrative of the outfit. This evolution reflects a shift in streetwear culture: it’s no longer just casual; it’s conceptual.
Streetwear enthusiasts are blending utility with artistry. Cargo pants meet oversized coats with hidden pockets, while hoodies and jackets incorporate experimental fabrics like neoprene or recycled synthetics. The aesthetic is urban yet artistic, raw yet refined—a reflection of a generation that values authenticity over conformity. RAW TEXTURE is about embracing imperfection and finding beauty in the unexpected, turning every street corner into a runway and every passerby into a walking canvas.

RAW TEXTURE — Streetwear Reimagined

ISSUE 02 / 2025

The glamour of fashion often begins behind the scenes, in the chaos of fittings, lighting tests, and makeup touch-ups. BACKSTAGE offers a rare glimpse into the world of emerging models who are just beginning to make their mark. For these new faces, every photoshoot is both a challenge and an opportunity to learn.
Photographers orchestrate intricate shots, experimenting with angles and lighting, while makeup artists craft looks that balance artistry and wearability. Stylists curate outfits that complement each model’s features while reflecting the latest trends. The process is fast-paced, intense, and full of surprises—sometimes a single moment captures the essence of a campaign.
Emerging models learn to project confidence under pressure, adapt to different moods and settings, and collaborate creatively with the entire team. They navigate the tension between vulnerability and performance, discovering how presence, poise, and personality translate into compelling images. BACKSTAGE captures these unseen moments, highlighting the dedication, skill, and artistry required to bring fashion campaigns and runway shows to life. It’s a celebration of collaboration, talent, and the transformative power of fashion photography.

BACKSTAGE — Behind the Lens with New Faces

Black and white clothing never loses its timeless appeal, but modern designers are finding fresh ways to interpret this classic palette. MONOCHROME DREAM explores how simplicity can be striking and how contrasts can tell stories without words. Black conveys strength, mystery, and elegance, while white offers purity, minimalism, and lightness. Together, they create visual harmony that allows form, texture, and proportion to take center stage.
In contemporary fashion, monochrome outfits range from minimalist chic to bold statement ensembles. Structured coats, tailored pants, and flowing dresses gain new depth when paired with contrasting accessories, textures, or patterns. Photographers emphasize shadows, highlights, and silhouettes, transforming monochrome into a dramatic narrative tool.
The beauty of black and white fashion lies in its versatility. It can be edgy or understated, modern or classic. Designers experiment with layering, combining matte and glossy fabrics, introducing subtle patterns, and incorporating architectural shapes. MONOCHROME DREAM demonstrates that color is not the only way to make an impression; sometimes restraint is the most powerful statement. It’s a reminder that elegance often comes from simplicity, that strength can coexist with subtlety, and that fashion’s true artistry lies in thoughtful design rather than mere color.

FRAGILE, an editorial by Julia S., explores the delicate balance between vulnerability and strength. Through fashion photography, Julia captures moments of introspection, emotion, and self-expression, using clothing as a medium to tell intimate stories. Lightweight fabrics, sheer layers, and flowing silhouettes evoke fragility, while bold poses, strong lines, and contrasting textures convey resilience.
Each image is a narrative, blending softness with drama, subtlety with intensity. Julia S. draws inspiration from the human experience, highlighting the interplay between delicacy and power, sensitivity and confidence. Accessories and styling are carefully chosen to enhance the emotional impact—delicate jewelry, layered fabrics, and muted tones create harmony, while unexpected textures or shapes add depth and intrigue.
FRAGILE is more than fashion; it’s a meditation on impermanence, identity, and emotional authenticity. Viewers are invited to connect with the editorial on a personal level, finding beauty in vulnerability and courage in self-expression. It demonstrates how fashion can transcend aesthetics, becoming a tool for storytelling, reflection, and empowerment.
