Miguel Maldonado has lived out of a suitcase long enough to know that style has nothing to do with where you are. Monterrey, Barcelona, Berlin, New York, four cities, two decades, one consistent eye. What changes, he says, is the conversation he has with each place, what never does is the way he sees.
Now based in New York and running Mi/Ma79, the creative platform he founded with his husband in 2025, Miguel approaches fashion the way a writer approaches language as a system of meaning, not decoration. His editorial for PHM 012, „I Can Buy Myself Flowers,“ is exactly that: volume and color and theatricality in service of something larger than a look; a woman who does not wait, a femininity that needs no permission.
We asked him about geography, discipline, and the moment he realised that styling was never really about clothes.

Three Names to Watch at Berlin Fashion Week SS27
Fifty shows across a city that has always treated fashion as a byproduct of something larger culture, subculture, politics, the particular freedom that comes from building a scene in a place that had to reinvent itself. Berlin Fashion Week SS27 runs July 2 to 5. Three names from the lineup worth your time.
SELVA HUYGENS [SLVA] works with what most labels would discard. Car parts, industrial waste, automotive hardware, remade into modular garments that sit somewhere between brutalist architecture and survival equipment. The brand has been worn by Lady Gaga, FKA Twigs, and Jared Leto, and has appeared in Vogue and V Magazine, though none of that is really the point. The point is that the clothes carry a logic most fashion cannot access: material honesty taken to its structural conclusion.
Rebekka Ruétz has been showing in Berlin since 2011, which makes her one of the longest-running and most quietly consistent voices on the BFW calendar. Her new collection is framed as a journey toward a wilder, freer self one unafraid of imperfection. Avant-garde silhouettes, bold material contrasts, sustainability as a founding principle rather than a seasonal talking point. This season she takes the runway at Motorwerk Berlin.
#DAMUR has a pattern worth paying attention to: KitKat Club one season, Liquidrom the next, a boxing ring in Taipei after that. For SS27, Damur Huang is taking over a skatepark guests arrive in the afternoon, stay through the techno sets, and experience the collection as part of a day rather than a show. The Taipei-born, Berlin-based designer has always treated the venue as an extension of the argument and the skatepark continues that.
Selected projects will appear in the Autumn–Winter 2026 printed edition of PURPLEHAZE and in an offline group exhibition in Berlin, presented in collaboration with HAZEGALLERY. Details on the exhibition date and venue to be announced.
Autumn–Winter 2026
„UNSCRIPTED“
The image does not always begin with intention. Sometimes it forms in the space where control loosens, where timing overtakes composition, and where the frame captures more than it can contain. Unscripted explores the conditions under which fashion imagery becomes immediate, unstable, and unresolved. It considers the moment as something that cannot be fully directed, only recognized, when gesture, movement, and environment converge into something unrepeatable.
We invite artists, photographers, and image-makers working across fashion, experimental photography, and contemporary visual practices to respond to this theme.
Staged or not, we are interested in work that carries the feeling of something uncontrolled. Where construction disappears into presence, and the image holds something that looks like it could not have been planned, even if it was. Work that resists choreography and reveals something beyond it.
Selected projects will appear in the Autumn–Winter 2026 printed edition of PURPLEHAZE.
Deadline: October 11, 2026

about the artist:
Yulia Adelova (b. 1988, Tynda, Russia) is a Moscow-based photographer and visual artist whose practice exists at the intersection of photography, performative gesture, and subtle spatial intervention. With a background in journalism, graphic design, and contemporary photography, she has developed a distinctive language that transforms the ordinary into the quietly unsettling.
Adelova studied journalism and philology at the University of the Russian Academy of Education and art and graphics at Moscow State University for the Humanities, later completing a graphic design program at the British Higher School of Art and Design. Her visual sensitivity was further sharpened through intensive studies in contemporary photography first with Ivan Knyazev at Photoplay (2020–2021), and then through experimental practice at DocDocDoc school (2021–2022). This multidisciplinary education allows her to approach photography not merely as documentation, but as a tool for conceptual transformation.
At the core of her work lies an acute attention to the invisible tensions between body, object, and environment. Adelova constructs scenes in which familiar structures, architectural, social, or psychological, begin to shift, crack, or reveal their inherent fragility. Through carefully staged interventions, playful disruptions, and precise observation of everyday spaces, she uncovers the absurdity, vulnerability, and unexpected poetry hidden within the banal. Her images often blur the line between recording reality and altering it: a body changes the geometry of a room, a gesture exposes the instability of an interior, and the camera becomes both witness and accomplice in a quiet metamorphosis.
Whether working with performative actions or meticulously composed still lifes, Adelova consistently explores how physical presence reshapes space and, conversely, how space conditions our emotional and mental states. Her photographs do not scream, they whisper about collapse, about the delicate balance that holds our constructed realities together, and about the moment when that balance begins to slip.
Yulia Adelova’s works have been shown in group exhibitions in Moscow and Kaliningrad. Currently travelling around the world, continuing to investigate the fragile architecture of the everyday through the medium of contemporary photography.
