About the Swimwear Issue
The Swimwear Issue is an annual editorial series dedicated exclusively to swimwear imagery — elevated, intentional, and created with publication in mind.
Each year, this project:
-
Features 30 selected models
-
Is photographed across multiple coastal locations
-
Is designed specifically for magazine layouts and storytelling
-
Culminates in a dedicated editorial issue release
Previous editions of this project were produced in partnership with Dreamy Magazine.
For 2026, the Swimwear Issue is being published independently through NÜSCENE Magazine, allowing for tighter creative direction and a stronger editorial voice.
