RAFFELSIIA TETRAPOD II – A Performative Fashion Editorial by Jon Darc x ELIE MANUEL

RAFFELSIIA TETRAPOD II is a performative fashion editorial created in collaboration between performance artist Jon Darc and designer ELIE MANUEL. The project brings together performance, fashion, and image-making, set within a nocturnal winter landscape.
At the center of the editorial is a solitary figure moving through the snow in biomorphic red silhouettes. The work focuses on texture, volume, and the relationship between the body, garment, and space, creating a minimal yet highly tactile visual language.
The series unfolds as a sequence of staged moments, from emergence to transformation, with garments functioning as extensions of the body. Soft, organic forms meet structured, almost architectural shapes, blurring the line between organism and construct.
Photography and film were captured by Diana Shulyeshnova and Jessica Taylor, maintaining a clean, cinematic approach that emphasizes the visual tension between color, material, and environment.
RAFFELSIIA TETRAPOD II presents a controlled, image-driven exploration of identity and transformation.
