A Fashion Fantasy: Exploring I WONDER’s Whimsical World
I Wonder takes readers on a surreal journey, merging high fashion with a Wonderland-inspired aesthetic. Drawing influence from Lewis Carroll’s iconic tale, this editorial transforms reality into a bold, dreamlike escape. Adriana Pagliai’s use of deformed lenses intensifies the fantasy, creating exaggerated perspectives that feel both magical and disorienting.
Moreover, vibrant colors and playful styling bring this whimsical world to life. Baby doll dresses in soft pinks and greens dominate the visuals, while shimmering sequins and exaggerated accessories add a fantastical edge. Designers such as Manoush, Maria Lozeba, and Ezma Studio lend their artistry to the editorial, showcasing a perfect blend of imagination and craftsmanship.
Ultimately, every element of I Wonder works together to immerse viewers in a world where fashion and fantasy collide.
Wardrobe Wonderland: A Closer Look at the Styling
The wardrobe in I Wonder embraces contrasts, layering soft silhouettes with bold textures to create striking compositions. For example, a green baby doll dress by Manoush is paired with a leather bretelle from Maria Lozeba, striking a balance between structure and playfulness. Completing the look, funky shoes from Jeffrey Campbell add a rebellious, modern twist.
Additionally, soft pastel hues like pink lace dresses contrast with bold details, such as purple gloves by Ezma Studio. Sequined gowns shimmer in the distorted light, adding a layer of surreal elegance. Meanwhile, accessories, including necklaces from Akubra Jewelry and sunglasses by Dolls Kill, inject playful energy into each ensemble.
Furthermore, layered textures bring depth and intrigue to the styling. Tulle shorts from Ezma Studio pair beautifully with vintage vests and stockings by Calzedonia. Every element feels intentional, highlighting the thoughtful balance between whimsy and sophistication.
Through these styling choices, the wardrobe becomes a visual narrative that celebrates curiosity and imagination.
The Magic Behind the Scenes
Behind every image in I Wonder lies a seamless collaboration between artistry and technical brilliance. Adriana Pagliai’s photography magnifies every detail in this wonderland-inspired editorial, using bold compositions and surreal angles to craft a world of fantasy. Her innovative use of deformed lenses heightens the dreamlike quality, inviting viewers to lose themselves in the story.
Meanwhile, the hair and makeup bring a sense of cohesion and drama to the editorial. Alexis Mercier’s daring hairstyles mirror the whimsical energy of the outfits, while Axelle Jovanovic’s glowing makeup enhances the ethereal mood. The bold eyeshadow and radiant highlights add a surreal glow that perfectly complements the distorted visuals.
Equally important is the magnetic presence of Funke, whose graceful yet bold expressions anchor the fantasy. Her ability to embody the spirit of the modern Alice brings a powerful, human element to the surreal compositions.
Finally, the contributions of designers such as Manoush and Ezma Studio ensure that the editorial remains both imaginative and fashionable. From shimmering sequins to eccentric accessories, I Wonder redefines the boundaries of modern fashion, encouraging viewers to embrace the unexpected of this avant-garde wonderland.
