The Wallpaper September 2014 Clean Slate editorial features a remarkably industrial backdrop. Photographer Jan Lehner took in a series of dull concrete walls, all the while capturing model Tess Hellfeuer as she walked amid high rise windows and towering structures.

Stylist Isabelle Kountoure matched the [dark grey setting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-est) present in Clean Slate with ease. Little color was revealed as Hellfeuer sported [monochromatic ensembles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grigio-verde) only, seen in thin grey dresses and dark green [elongated trench coats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apresse-2026).

While some muted shades were revealed, this photoshoot is for the most part reserved. The almost cold backdrop gives off an institutional feel that is reflected in the apparel, making for a somber scene that will move readers of Wallpaper.
