Naomi Campbell in Mr. Pearl
Naomi Campbell in a Mr. Pearl corset, photographed by Paulo Roversi
This photograph is a rare convergence of three singular forces: the visionary eye of Paulo Roversi, the architectural devotion of Mr. Pearl, and the commanding presence of Naomi Campbell.
Paulo Roversi’s work is instantly recognizable for its ethereal quality—shot on large-format Polaroid film, often with long exposures that invite stillness and introspection. His images are less portraits than invocations: timeless, painterly, and steeped in a soft chiaroscuro that harks back to classical art.
Mr. Pearl, by contrast, works in near-monastic precision. One of the most revered corsetiers in the world, his pieces are feats of both engineering and devotion. Drawing inspiration from historical techniques, he handcrafts each corset over many weeks, shaping the body into a silhouette that evokes another era while transcending it entirely. His work speaks to transformation—not only of the form, but of the wearer’s inner state. In this image, Campbell becomes both muse and monument.

Drelon’s practice resists embellishment, opting instead for controlled environments in which surface and gesture become compositional tools. Produced in close collaboration with @anga.vanga, the work integrates beauty, structure, and timing through…
In 100 Hectares of Understanding, Finnish artist Jaakko Kahilaniemi investigates inherited land and the complexities of ownership, memory, and ecological awareness. This image exemplifies his conceptual layering: a superimposed pink square disrupts the monochrome forest, invoking the artificial boundaries imposed by human systems on natural environments. The intervention is not merely aesthetic—it interrogates our relationships…
Meet Can Dağarslanı, a Berlin-based artist and architect whose practice merges the poetics of space with the subtleties of human emotion. With a background in architecture and a painter’s eye for composition, Arslanı’s work often explores the quiet tension between structure and vulnerability. His muted palettes, precise framing, and surreal yet intimate narratives evoke a stillness…
