L'AN 01

By PAP Magazine Editorial

Transparent plastic fragments curve around the face, wet strands of hair cling to the neckline, and the editorial holds both future and primal in a single frame. In the opening image, organic-shaped clear material wraps over the brow and cheekbones, catching droplets of light on dewy skin, while a sheer black garment reveals bare shoulders beneath. Shot against a clean white studio backdrop, the frames amplify skin's luminosity, moisture, and the refracted glow of sculptural transparent accessories, all held in place by restrained lighting that carves out volume. The third portrait strips away the prosthetic elements entirely, relying solely on wet-textured hair and a natural skin tone to create a stark contrast with the synthetic styling that precedes it. Credited to Heura, Murgui, Manu Varros, Marta Lara, Clara Aliaga, Carmencita Film Lab, and Gabe, the work lives up to its title—L'AN 01, Year One—capturing the raw and the refined at the origin point of something new.
