Fresh-Faced Radiance: Marial Akech Graces MMSCENE Magazine’s August Cover
It’s fresh-faced South Sudan model Marial Akech, captured through the lens of Josh Upton, with a dreamy set designed by Poppy Whitehorn.
This stunning visual marks the August cover of MMSCENE Magazine — a celebration of bold beauty and modern elegance.
Why we love it: The shoot is a masterclass in minimalism meets mood. Marial’s effortless glow, paired with Upton’s soft-focus lensing and Whitehorn’s ethereal set design, creates a visual that’s both editorial and intimate. And the styling? Impeccable. It balances clean lines with subtle drama, letting Marial’s natural beauty take center stage while still delivering high-fashion impact.
And Marial? His face is excentric and beautiful — a rare blend of angular grace and expressive softness. There’s a quiet magnetism in his gaze, a kind of cinematic allure that feels both timeless and fresh. It’s the kind of face that doesn’t just wear fashion — it transforms it.
