Let’s dive in.

1. Tida Rosvall for Vogue Portugal February 2026, The Naif Issue; Photographed by Jaša Muller

I am loving how the mixed-media, analog style is translating across the editorials already. The campaign feels playful and tactile, with expressive scribble details and a beautifully balanced interplay between 2D and 3D elements throughout.

2. Djerf Avenue – Slow Love Nostalgia Drop Promo Images

Hand-illustrated by Swedish art director, Tobias Green.

The mix of illustration and photography feels beautifully nostalgic, almost like stepping into a fairy tale book. (The clothes in this drop are also gorgeous, and SO comfortable.)

3. Saint Laurent Summer 2025 Campaign by Francesco Clemente

Anthony Vaccarello commissioned the Italian artist to reimagine the label’s muses through watercolor and pastel.

I first came across the ad below while scrolling through System Collections A/W 2025–2026 and was immediately struck by it. It felt refreshing to see artwork take the place of photography, and it’s such a fun way to show off a new collection. The style is fresh and detailed without being photorealistic. I love the colors and the level of detail in each piece. The logo treatment also stood out to me and gave me a sense of growth, especially with the flower coming out from the type.

4. Team China’s 2026 Winter Olympics uniforms, photographed by Wintam for Vogue China

I’m obsessed with this shoot. The styling of both the photos and the uniforms is brilliant—very light and chilling, with minimal color used intentionally throughout. Everything feels so refined. The photos are stunning, and the icy details are absolute perfection.

I hope you enjoyed these! Let me know in the comments which one’s your favorite, and share any visual references you think I should check out next.
