It’s always a thrill to see the fusion of creativity and fashion come to life in a magazine spread, and the May 2024 issue of VIGOUR Magazine is no exception. Featuring “Le Rouge et Le Noir” photoshoot spread, this edition showcases the stunning designs of Smaranika Nikki Sarangi, brought to life by the talented models Kira May Maurer and Mary Kuznetsova.
The photoshoot, set against a rustic backdrop of weathered barns and lush greenery, creates a striking contrast that enhances the bold red and black palette of the designer’s collection. Each image captures the essence of the designs, with intricate patterns and dynamic silhouettes that speak to both tradition and modernity. The models, adorned with elaborate headpieces and vibrant makeup, exude an aura of strength and elegance, perfectly embodying the theme of “Le Rouge et Le Noir.”
