Design Therapy is a fashion editorial exploring the relationship between clothing, space, and emotion. Set within a carefully designed interior, this story uses architecture and atmosphere as a backdrop for a quiet, introspective fashion narrative featuring model Anna Kim.

In this editorial, fashion is influenced by its surroundings. Clean lines, muted tones, and architectural details echo the silhouettes and materials worn by Anna Kim, creating a visual dialogue between body and environment.

The space is not the subject — it’s the frame. It allows the clothing to breathe, emphasizing gesture, posture, and expression. This approach draws inspiration from contemporary fashion magazines where interiors play a subtle but essential role in storytelling.

Shot with a restrained and modern aesthetic, Design Therapy embraces simplicity. Natural light, soft shadows, and a controlled color palette create an atmosphere that feels calm yet intentional. The styling and photography focus on mood rather than spectacle, letting each image unfold quietly.

This type of editorial photography is ideal for fashion brands and publications looking for imagery that feels elevated, timeless, and emotionally grounded.

Design Therapy is less about seasonal trends and more about sensation — how fashion can feel when placed in the right environment. The designed space becomes a form of visual therapy, enhancing the narrative without overpowering it.

This fashion editorial reflects my approach to fashion photography: cinematic, story-driven, and rooted in atmosphere.
