Robert Binda captures JFW Magazine's masked editorial titled 'I Put a Spell on You'. The magazine's 'Magic Touch' cover story features First Model Management face Jemma and Supa Models face Heidi who both sport silver hair and pale-faced cosmetics.

Styling for this editorial is courtesy of Clare Lazaro who dresses her muses in [textured statement pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025) like faux fur jackets, metallic capes and flower-embroidered dresses. This masked editorial is darkly romantic, highlighting a grey backdrop and matched [monochromatic palette](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25) that is accented with hints of pastel tones.

Hair styling for this shoot is courtesy of Roy Hayward while makeup is applied by the talented Tamara Tott. Drawing inspiration from [theatrical themes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/land-of-oz), this editorial celebrates fashion's element of fantasy and rejects minimalism, an aesthetic that has been dominating the industry as of late.
