Warrior of Style, by structural designer and creative director Veronica Comez, presents a fashion editorial grounded in engineered form and controlled visual impact. Drawing on the visual aesthetics of Benjamin Kanarek and Tom Ford, the work sits within a futuristic fashion framework that prioritises structure, clarity and precision over excess.
The garments are defined by deliberate construction. Harnessed elements, rigid shoulder lines and exposed fastening systems shape the body through clearly articulated form. Comez’s engineering-led design approach is evident in the way each component contributes to the overall silhouette without redundancy. The decomposition of form and elimination of waste are visible in the restraint of the palette and the focus on function as a visual device.
The photographic series reinforces this structural emphasis. Framing is tight and intentional, allowing the garments to remain the primary focus within each image. The use of concrete architecture as a backdrop introduces scale and repetition, echoing the constructed nature of the clothing without distracting from it. The arches and enclosed spaces act as a neutral structural environment rather than a narrative setting.
Styling choices support the designed severity of the look. The make-up, described by Comez as imperial and raw, uses sharp definition and metallic accents to extend the engineered aesthetic of the garments. Hair styling incorporates ornamental accessories that introduce a controlled sophistication, adding detail without softening the overall construction.
Additional detail emerges in the treatment of accessories and finishing elements. The braided headpiece and metal hair pins extend the engineered language of the garments into the styling, functioning as structural components rather than decorative additions. Their placement reinforces verticality and line, maintaining continuity with the garment construction.
The use of metallic elements at the mouth and neck introduces material contrast while remaining consistent with the overall design system. These components echo the hardware used in the garments themselves, creating cohesion between clothing, accessories and styling. The repetition of metal against matte black fabric reinforces Comez’s emphasis on controlled surface interplay and disciplined visual consistency.
Across the editorial, the photographs maintain a consistent visual discipline. There is no reliance on gesture or overt theatricality to carry the images. Instead, impact is achieved through proportion, surface treatment and the relationship between garment and space.
Warrior of Style reads as a focused exercise in structural fashion design and aligns clearly with Comez’s established practice. The garments demonstrate a consistently high level of construction and finish, reinforcing her commitment to engineered silhouettes and disciplined form. This editorial consolidates her brand language, presenting structured, high-quality garments that are resolved, coherent and recognisably her own.
