Step into a garden where elegance flirts with mischief. Love Magazine’s Fall Winter 2015 editorial is exactly that a playground of color, attitude, and unexpected beauty. Shot by the masterful Sølve Sundsbø, this series isn’t just a photoshoot. It’s a vivid, slightly dark fantasia where fashion meets the untamed, a place where models are both statues and spirits in equal measure.
The casting alone is a statement. Elizabeth Hurley exudes her signature sophistication, while Amilna Estevão and Aamito Lagum bring a fresh, magnetic energy. Andreja Pejic blurs lines effortlessly, reminding us why she is an icon of fearless, gender-fluid elegance. And then there’s Lucky Blue Smith and Stella Maxwell, whose statuesque presence adds drama and edge, proving that in this garden, everyone commands attention without saying a word.
Dark Playfulness Meets Opulence
What stands out here is Sundsbø’s ability to capture both the playful and the dark. Each frame feels alive, like the models are caught mid-whisper with the flora around them. Textures are layered like secrets. Leather contrasts silk. Bold prints collide with muted tones. Accessories, curated with the precision of fashion editors Amanda Harlech, Jessica Diehl, Jo Levin, Robbie Spencer, and Yasmine Eslami, add whimsical punctuation. Jonathan Saunders and Alexis Bittar pieces pop in ways that feel intentional yet effortless. This is the kind of editorial that doesn’t just photograph well it breathes.
Syd Hayes’ hair styling flows naturally, almost like it has a mind of its own, and Hiromi Ueda’s make-up balances between ethereal and bold, letting each model’s individuality shine. Stella Lucia, Bhumika Arora, Cierra Skye, Erin O’Connor, and Eva Herzigova each command their moments, whether peeking through petals or lounging in bold prints. Even Poppy Delevingne, Poppy Okotcha, Harriet Verney, Varya Shutova, Yuan Bo Chao, and Fernanda Ly add a subtle layer of storytelling, making the editorial feel like a secret society of style within the blooms.
The Takeaway
This Love Magazine editorial is a masterclass in mood and versatility. It is playful yet mysterious, opulent yet grounded. You walk away wanting to step into that garden, pull at a silk sleeve, and find your own story hidden among the petals. Fashion here is not just seen it is felt.
