SAMUEL ELIE STARS ON THE COVER OF NUMÉRO NETHERLANDS’ FANTASY

Numéro Netherlands is delighted to present SAMUEL ELIE, captured by the lens of TAREK MAWAD on the cover of our 13th issue Fantasy. Where he rises through a world in a power-fuelled elegance, wrapped in a long white scarf spiraling around his monochrome tailoring like a current breaking out from the depths. SAMUEL ELIE emerges through a haze of blurred lines, in bent over backwards ballerina prima stances, his eyes extended toward those who beheld the cover. Luring us into the frenzy of fur accents and pointed boots reaching skyward. Amid this chaos, a single white flower stands resilient as a promise of new beginnings.
