This fashion editorial, created by photographer Migle Golubickaite and stylist Kestutis Lekeckas, explores the tension and chaos within a seemingly polished corporate setting. Inspired by the dynamics of HR offices, the concept captures young professionals dressed impeccably but unraveling emotionally during a high-stakes meeting. The focus is on the climax—when disagreements escalate into expressive gestures and aggressive behavior, revealing the chaos beneath workplace decorum.
Simplicity was key in the technical execution. Golubickaite used a single lens, one light source, and a sterile white background to mimic the monotony of office spaces while drawing attention to the models and their emotions. This stark environment highlighted the contrast between structure and emotional outburst, amplifying the narrative.
The visual story was influenced by human behavior and 1970s aesthetics, from music to vintage TV. This dual inspiration shaped the styling, makeup, and final imagery. Subtle post-production enhanced the theme with a brownish color grade, evoking a sterile, retro office atmosphere.
Collaboration was pivotal. Lekeckas emphasized elegance to juxtapose the chaos, while the makeup artist and hair stylist added depth with bruises, stains, and disheveled looks symbolizing emotional conflict. Together, the team brought to life a narrative that challenges perceptions of order, professionalism, and raw human emotions.
