Each shot captures a singular designer’s essence, embracing its subtleties and overall character. The [magazine editorial](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-fashion-campaigns-marc-jacobs-unveils-its-spring-2025-marcworld-cam) was photographed by Max von Gumppenberg and Patrick Bienert, beautifully showcasing each of the featured fashion houses’ signature styles.

To do this, Carine Roitfeld enlisted an [all-star model ensemble](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chinese-golden-age-models) including Karolina Kurkova, Xiao Wen Ju, Lakshmi Menon and Carine’s daughter Julia Restoin-Roitfeld. Each of these ladies brings their own charms in order to represent labels like Miuccia Prada, Alber Elbaz’s Lanvin, Christopher Bailey’s Burberry and Thomas Maier’s Bottega Veneta.
