Description: Drawing inspiration from the iconic Madame X painting by Sargent, this collection of images curated by our creative editorial team aims to evoke the essence of controversy and empowerment. Originally met with skepticism among Parisian elites and art critics, Madame X later emerged as a symbol of feminine strength and beauty, solidifying its place as one of Sargent’s masterpieces. Model Brianna Cirillo dons creations from New York-based fashion brand Quine Li, helmed by the visionary Chinese designer and artist, Kuai Li. Known for her bold exploration of geometric shapes and sculptural aesthetics, Li’s designs breathe life into the concept of “living art.” Through intricate fabric manipulations and striking silhouettes, Li’s pieces capture the essence of ELETOM’s Madame X 2.0—a celebration of the female form and the inherent power it embodies. This creative collaboration between fashion brand Quine Li and ELETOM for the editorial cover piece seeks to redefine beauty and provoke contemplation, inviting viewers to see fashion as more than mere garments but as dynamic expressions of strength and identity.
