by Olivia Moreau

In a dazzling homage to the past and the future, the incomparable Agnes Wade graces the lens of photographer Omi in this editorial, styled with timeless flair by Alba Vasquez. Drawing inspiration from the iconic elegance of Breakfast at Tiffany’s, this series reimagines the sophistication of Audrey Hepburn’s era through a bold and modern lens.

The editorial captures the spirit of a bygone age, where glamour was effortless and every detail mattered, but reinterprets it with contemporary artistry. Omi’s innovative use of layered color overlays—vivid yellows, magentas, and blues—infuses a dreamlike quality into the visuals, as though stepping into a technicolor reverie. Agnes Wade, with her poised yet playful demeanor, becomes the perfect bridge between the vintage and the avant-garde.

In the opening shot, Agnes channels the grace of Holly Golightly in a floor-length magenta gown with voluminous sleeves. The rich fabric flows like liquid sophistication, its ruched details offering a nod to the meticulous tailoring of 1960s couture. Styled with a tousled updo and a delicate, understated gaze, Agnes brings to life the timeless allure of Hepburn’s character, while Omi’s layered shadows cast her as a modern-day icon of elegance.

The editorial takes a dramatic turn in the second image, where Vasquez and Omi pay tribute to Hepburn’s famous little black dress. Agnes appears in a structured leather top, its high neckline and exaggerated shoulders adding a daring twist to a classic silhouette. Paired with long gloves adorned with shimmering studs, the look recalls the unforgettable elegance of elbow-length gloves from Breakfast at Tiffany’s, but with a rebellious, edgy spin. The electric blue and golden overlays frame Agnes in a kaleidoscope of light, turning her into a cinematic vision of both past and future.

In a particularly striking moment, Agnes is captured holding a vibrant, tribal-inspired mask bag—a prop that juxtaposes the refined aesthetic of Hepburn’s world with global, cultural narratives. The intricate patterns and bold colors of the mask bag by Carla Fernández are a playful yet poignant reminder of how fashion evolves, drawing on diverse influences while remaining a vessel for storytelling. Omi’s photographic technique enhances this narrative, adding layers of depth and meaning to the image.

The parallels to Breakfast at Tiffany’s continue in a softer, contemplative frame. Here, Agnes, dressed in another voluminous magenta gown, strikes a statuesque pose, her arms folded and her gaze upward. The elegance of the silhouette and the dramatic folds of the fabric feel reminiscent of the iconic scene where Hepburn stands by the window, lost in thought, her timeless beauty capturing hearts. Yet, the boldness of the color and the artistic overlays remind us this is a story of reinvention, not replication.

Vasquez’s styling reaches its zenith in a look featuring a striped, asymmetric coat. The geometric precision of the stripes is a nod to the clean lines of 1960s fashion, while Agnes’s unconventional, leaning pose adds an avant-garde touch. The playful shadowing and vibrant colors evoke a sense of whimsy that balances the elegance, much like Holly Golightly’s spirited personality balanced her poised exterior.

This editorial, steeped in vintage charm and modern audacity, is a celebration of transformation. Agnes Wade steps into the shoes of a Hepburn-inspired muse, yet her energy and presence make the story distinctly her own. Through the combined vision of Omi and Vasquez, Breakfast at Tiffany’s becomes not just a reference point, but a launching pad for a new era of glamour—bold, eclectic, and unapologetically individual.
