The New Couture Series

In the words of Rain Magazine itself:

« While The New Couture Series channels Penn’s original post-war vision, this new approach reminds us that fashion is more than fabric—it is form and image. Each image offers a powerful dialogue between the dichotomies of tradition and innovation, past and present, surface and substance. »

Photographer Pierre Cathala and stylist Star Burleigh have come together to embody the power of fashion and photography. On one side, the grace of the images collides with the grandeur of the couture pieces. The editorial is a poetic expression of a fashion world that is forever evolving, constantly in motion—yet juxtaposed with the stillness of photography, which has the ability to crystallize rare moments in time, where the garments, the model, and the space pause for just a second.
