Swamp Chic With a Twist
Meghan Collison takes us deep into a swampy wonderland for Intermission Magazine’s Spring/Summer 2015 issue. Photographed by Patrik Sehlstedt, the editorial pairs stark black and white fashion with the raw beauty of the swamp. The setting is dramatic, moody, and completely unexpected, turning nature into a stage that both challenges and elevates the clothing.
Fashion Meets the Unexpected
Styled by Vanessa Chow, the outfits are bold, structured, and monochromatic. Clean lines and strong silhouettes stand out against the murky water and tangled foliage. The surprise comes in the form of a baby alligator or a hefty snake, who occasionally share the frame with Meghan. These unexpected companions add humor, tension, and a hint of danger, giving the shoot a wild energy that feels fresh and alive. Meghan handles them with poise, making it look effortless while keeping the viewer on edge.
Beauty That Matches the Mood
Hair by Sasha Nesterchuk flows naturally in the swamp breeze, while makeup by Sir John sharpens Meghan’s features without stealing attention from the fashion. The beauty choices enhance the intensity of the setting, keeping the images grounded in realism even as they flirt with fantasy. Every frame feels intentional yet spontaneous.
Patrik Sehlstedt’s Vision
Sehlstedt captures a perfect balance of elegance and wildness. He frames the model and the environment so that neither overwhelms the other. The black and white palette highlights textures everywhere from wet foliage to fabric folds, creating a cinematic, tactile quality. There is tension and play in equal measure, which makes the editorial memorable.
Why It Works
The editorial succeeds because it mixes high fashion, humor, and a little danger in a way that feels organic. Meghan Collison dominates every image while embracing the unpredictability of her surroundings. The photos are daring but grounded, theatrical but intimate.
Final Impression
Meghan Collison by Patrik Sehlstedt for Intermission Magazine Spring/Summer 2015 is bold, playful, and a little wild. It is fashion with attitude and personality that lingers after the page is turned.
