Beauty – The Forumist

Last Flowers of Summer

Flavia Tudosoiu — Sun, 12 Oct 2025 12:43:15 +0000

The fusion of nature and fashion. Floral motifs move beyond prints into body art and three-dimensional styling, while sculptural silhouettes, oversized bows, and tactile textures highlight a romantic yet surreal approach. The result is a modern take on botanical romanticism where garments, skin, and flowers merge into living art.

Here and Now

Flavia Tudosoiu — Sun, 28 Sep 2025 14:18:06 +0000

Graphic eye shadows, sculpted hairlines, and dramatic dark lips emphasize a futuristic, almost avant-garde aesthetic that pushes beyond traditional femininity. Accessories, from pearl drop earrings to statement gold studs, act as refined punctuation marks to the otherwise daring looks. This visual language highlights a movement toward power dressing with artistry: statuesque, commanding, and timeless, while still allowing space for delicate romanticism.

FUTURE RELIC

Flavia Tudosoiu — Sun, 29 Jun 2025 14:22:55 +0000

Bold, intricate, unexpected, echo the legacy of ancient Roman goldsmiths, yet speak a language all their own. Crafted from unlikely materials, they twist the past into something provocatively modern. Each piece tells a story: timeless, unrooted, and unapologetically unique.

Wonderland

Aleksandra Sern — Mon, 21 Apr 2025 10:15:07 +0000

Spring awakens in color: red lips bloom like tulips at dawn, pastel pink eyes whisper like cherry blossoms in the breeze, while soft orange glows like the horizon at golden hour. Scattered bright blue crystals shimmer like morning dew on petals. This is your invitation to glow, celebrate, and make every day a little more wonder-filled.

CARTOGRAPHIE DU DESIR

Pejman Birounvand — Sun, 03 Nov 2024 13:47:26 +0000

Our latest feature is a series by Helene Mastrandreas with Parisian actress, writer, and performer Zoe Besmond de Senneville. Inspired by her book Sourdre, Mastrandreas was deeply moved by Zoe’s painful account of losing her hearing and the resulting loss of confidence in her body’s capacity for desire. This series is a visual exploration—a catalog and alphabet of touchpoints and body parts—that reconnects her with her desires and brings them vividly back to life.

Floret

Blossoms and flowers capture beauty in their simple, natural form, reminding us of growth, renewal, and the passage of time. From motives in classical paintings to the modern world of beauty, flowers continue to fascinate, whether considered cliché or not. They represent the essence of what we view as truly beautiful. We hope this story triggers your senses to maintain the remaining spirit of summer and welcome the fall with a smile.

Duality

Explore the duality of beauty, where contemporary design and uniqueness meet classic, yet modern, execution. Playful hairstyling combines minimal, yet experimental, makeup, merging feminine elegance with bold. Each image explores the tension between softness and strength through double exposures and layered contrasts. This story redefines alternative beauty, celebrating the power of opposites to create a unified, captivating vision.

Flower

The beauty, grace, and colors of summer flowers transcend mere aesthetics, embodying the fleeting yet profound joys of life. Their vibrant hues and delicate forms evoke a sense of wonder and renewal, reminding us of nature’s intricate artistry. In their ephemeral bloom, flowers symbolize the essence of summer—radiant, lively, and breathtakingly beautiful, much like our beauty story from our talented German team. We wish you a lovely summer.
