Fairy World

By PAP Magazine Editorial

In a mist-shrouded forest, towering red mushrooms frame a figure draped in asymmetric plaid layering that fuses gothic sensibility with deconstructed tailoring. The silhouette pairs a shirred black jacket with cascading tartan panels and sheer lace gloves, channelling dark romanticism through texture and volume. Beauty work pushes into surrealism: metallic cross studs line the brow, crimson iris lenses meet green-rimmed lower lids, and braided cords frame the face like ceremonial threads. The colour palette—vivid scarlet caps against teal-tinged fog—reads as a fairy tale turned uncanny, suspending the narrative between wonder and unease. Conceived by Marco Bonometto, Silvio Deiaco, Cate Colapietro, Chiara Ciamaglia, Christian Kondic, Shi Hejun, Martina Sciarratta, Emma Farachi, Ilaria Gatto, Flavia Di Salvatore, and Lana Rost, the editorial commits to an immersive world-building exercise where every ornamental detail—from the fringed hems to the sculptural fungi—earns its place in the darker corners of fashion fantasy.
