There is a quiet power in a high fashion image that relies on mood rather than opulence. For her October 2025 editorial with CR Fashion Book, Julia Garner delivers exactly that, transforming a simple studio portrait into a cinematic scene. The setting—a singular, gold velvet couch against a dark, undefined backdrop—feels almost like a stage, with the lighting creating a dramatic chiaroscuro that highlights the raw, brooding intensity of her gaze.
The outfit itself is a masterclass in a new kind of romanticism. She wears a moss-green, sleeveless top crafted from a delicate, intricate lace that whispers of vintage glamour. The plunging halter neckline and exposed back give it a sensual, contemporary edge, a striking contrast to the top’s otherwise fragile appearance. The look is a bold, almost gothic counterpoint to the soft, velvety texture of the couch she sits on. Paired with her short, artfully styled blonde curls and a powerful red lip, the entire fashion spread feels like a modern interpretation of a 1930s film star, if she had been cast in a neo-noir thriller.
