Jonas Mantay Photographs Julia Seeger in NOWRUBI's 'Innocence' Fashion Editorial

other · 2026-08-14

KALTBLUT magazine exclusively presents a fashion editorial titled "Unlearning Innocence," photographed by Jonas Mantay and featuring model Julia Seeger. The shoot explores the transition from childhood innocence to adulthood, conceptualized as a process of distortion rather than clarity. The looks, styled by fashion brands NOWRUBI, &otherstories, and Zara, exaggerate the duality of exposing oneself while attempting to hide behind fabric, ultimately revealing that what we hide behind exposes us. Hair and makeup were done by Laetitia Prange. The editorial is tied to Berlin designer NOWRUBI's collection "INNOCENCE," which references childhood experiences not as a nostalgic ideal but as a complex space of imagination, uncertainty, and discovery. The project was published on KALTBLUT's website, with credits including Instagram handles for all contributors and brands.
