Santeria Themed Fashion Editorial Evokes The Beauty Of Tradition

Santeria Editorial Photo By Mario Vivanco 2017

March 29, 2017. Leave a Comment

Photographer Mario Vivanco teamed up with stylist Jimi Urquiana to create a stunning editorial for Models.com that was themed on Santeria, the Afro-Latino religion born out of the syncretism of Catholicism and  African spiritual doctrines found in various parts of the Caribbean and Latin America.

Featuring  Ajak Deng, Alicia Burke, Achok Majak, Duckie Thot and Saul Rodriguez, the models were photographed at New York’s Spring Studio. Shot in black and white, the format conveys an age old feel that taps into the ancient roots of Santeria’s history. As well, the color theme of the fashion is in step with Santeria practitioners, who wear white to convey purity, said to be necessary to be in the company of spirits.

The looks include custom pieces by Urquiana, along with pieces from Dolce & Gabbana, Jil Sander, Navy, Ellery, Zimmerman, Stella McCartney, and jewelry provided by Magdalena Frackowiak, Zana Bayne, Marco Bicego, Robert Coin, Ippolita, Armenta Kendra Scott, Meira T and Lana Jewelry.

For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runwa For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runway show and present their collection in a styled lookbook.

Taking inspiration from a feminine Y2K aesthetic, the collection embodies designers Charlotte Knowles and Alexandre Arsenault’s ability to balance sexy and cool. 

In an interview with Vogue, the pair shared that they are currently working on a new design director role in Europe and have several other projects in the pipeline, including another denim project, a collaboration with a jewelry brand, and a menswear capsule for an e-commerce site.

Commenting on the lookbook styling, they shared, "Obviously in the lookbooks it's styled in a quite extreme way, but if you break it down into individual pieces, we've been thinking about merchandising and the customer more than ever before," said Arsenault. "We've seen the team in the studio wearing the pieces differently too, and we've taken that into account. It's a nice challenge to say: 'Okay, we want to make a sweatshirt, but it still has this silhouette or wash or rib detail that makes it feel really Knwls."
