Mirela’s SS27 lookbook had one brief: make swimwear look like summer before summer arrives. We went up instead of out, to a rooftop in Lisbon on the first clear day in March.

Shooting upward

Every photograph was taken from below, lying on the roof with the sky as the only background. Pleats, sleeves and straps became shapes against blue. Amaka spun until the fabric opened like a fan, and we caught it on the way down.

The grade stayed simple: warm skin, honest sky, no filters.
