BEING ABSTRACT

By PAP Magazine Editorial

Primary colour fields collide across a summer landscape rendered as pure graphic plane. Against electric green turf and open sky, red-and-white diagonal stripes carve bold geometric silhouettes, punctuated by an orange bucket hat and a retro intarsia knit in blue, red, and yellow that recalls seventies sportif codes. White tube socks and black leather shorts anchor the daytime composition on the grass, while a night-time frame shifts the register entirely: infrared flash washes the same red-and-white printed co-ord in overexposed light, erasing facial detail and leaving only shape and saturated colour. Styled by Roman Erofeev, Taisia Erofeeva-Azbukhanova, and Zera Prosecova, the editorial treats garments as elements in a visual syntax, exploring how fashion becomes abstract sculpture when light, palette, and composition take precedence over narrative.
