THREADS — Cover

THREADS

Pink spirals coil across the face like graphic overlays, drawn with the deliberate precision of thread work brought to skin. The palette holds to pastel blue and soft rose, a restrained chromatic language that lets texture speak — silver beadwork drapes heavily across the shoulder, stitched into pale blue fabric with the weight of couture embroidery. A slicked topknot sits sculptural and tight, framing a composition where beauty becomes installation art. Credits list Chloe Yates, Aimee Joyce, Ross Zillwood, Henry Dixon, Lena Borwanska, Leslie Gamble, and Mercy Akingbola, a collaborative effort that merges styling, makeup, and textile craft into a single visual statement. Against the clean white backdrop, every detail registers sharply — the hand-drawn pink lines on skin, the glint of metal earrings, the soft blur of translucent fabric — creating a study in tactile minimalism.
