Photographer Mark Hives and his creative team transform stately homes into a runway of timeless elegance. By placing contemporary fashion within historic architecture, the editorial explores a dialogue between past and present, highlighting how modern silhouettes harmonize with classical spaces.

DESIGNERS AND SILHOUETTES

The shoot features a dynamic mix of established and emerging designers: Katie Ko, Self-Portrait, Lan Krebs, Eleni Passatembou, Selezza, Jennifer Clair, Aemona, and Chalayan. Sculptural dresses, corset tops, tailored trousers, and architectural cuts redefine wearable art, blending structure with fluidity.

Accessories elevate each look, including Gucci, Miu Miu, Manolo Blahnik, Chanel, and Tiffany & Co., while hats, gloves, and jewelry add refined details that bridge the gap between modernity and tradition.

THE CREATIVE TEAM

Stylist Anastasia Malikova, model Keira Prosser (D&B Management), hair stylist Elena Katsarova, and makeup artist Tetiana Kurtyniuk bring the vision to life. Their collaboration ensures each frame captures the romance of the setting and the precision of the garments. Assistant photographer Grace Barwick supports the shoot, while PR and coordination are managed by Coral Avenue Public Relations.

A STUDY IN CONTINUITY OF FASHION AND ARCHITECTURE

The editorial emphasizes continuity: classical interiors provide context for innovative design, while bold silhouettes lend relevance and modernity to historic spaces. The result is a poetic balance, demonstrating that fashion and architecture, past and present, can coexist in harmony.
