This is the holiday cover for Food & Wine magazine featuring Ciara.
Conceived to evoke the warm, lush enchantment of the holiday season, the original vision centered on a deeper, mottled red backdrop and dark parquet flooring to create a sense of timeless nostalgia. Due to time constraints, the set was pared down for the final cover execution, but below you’ll find an image of the initial concept, complete with the bar cart and florals that informed the overall aesthetic direction.
