Project August Barron · ALL-IN N°9 - Moni Haworth, Lotta Volkova
For the ninth issue of ALL-IN, photographer Moni Haworth and fashion editor Lotta Volkova collaborate on a striking visual narrative that subverts the traditional presentation of luxury fashion. Captured through a lens of editorial minimalism, the project channels a raw, utilitarian energy by placing soft-toned pastel ensembles against the stark, weathered backdrops of derelict industrial warehouses and vacated retail spaces. The resulting imagery leans into a documentary sensibility, prioritizing candid movement and the tactile reality of high-fashion fabrics like satin and cashmere over overly polished staging. By juxtaposing delicate peach, apricot, and pale pink garments against peeling paint, industrial shelving, and concrete floors, the work creates a compelling tension between the precious and the mundane. The project captures model Wolfgang Beck in a series of observational portraits that feel both intimate and detached, utilizing diffused natural light to emphasize the rich textures of the clothing against a background of shipping boxes and raw architecture. This fusion of gritty realism and refined styling defines the editorial aesthetic of the issue, presenting a sophisticated, nuanced exploration of material and environment that moves beyond typical fashion tropes to craft an atmosphere of quiet, intentional isolation.
Project August Barron · ALL-IN N°9 - Petra Collins
The August Barron ALL-IN N°9 campaign, featuring the iconic Petra Collins, presents a masterclass in editorial minimalism within the luxury fashion sector. Through a series of carefully composed portraits, the collaboration highlights the interplay between saturated primary colors and muted, neutral environments. By utilizing soft natural light, the campaign effectively draws focus to the structural precision of the collection, where crisp whites, vibrant cyan accents, and bold mustard-yellow details stand out against unassuming backdrops. Photographer Lengua creates a rhythm of intimacy and detachment, capturing Collins with a gaze that feels both studied and spontaneous. The styling by Makram Bitar leans into a curated complexity, layering textures and silhouettes—such as structured fedoras paired with polished midi skirts—that honor the house's refined aesthetic. The project thrives on its deliberate restraint; whether through a tight framing of a silk collar or a full-length shot against a sparse beige wall, every visual choice emphasizes the quality of the garments. With hair styling by Tom Wright and makeup by Anthony Preel, the imagery maintains a cohesive, clean look that bridges high-end lifestyle photography with classic fashion editorialism. It is a sophisticated, quiet exploration of form and color that feels remarkably intentional, cementing the brand’s position at the intersection of timeless elegance and contemporary art-directed fashion.

This editorial fashion campaign masterfully navigates the tension between architectural rigidity and ethereal movement, channeling a surrealist aesthetic that feels both grounded and otherworldly. Photographer Tim El Kaïm expertly utilizes a range of lighting techniques, from high-key studio strobes to natural light and analogue film, to isolate the collection’s delicate textures against stark white backdrops and saturated, monochromatic pink interiors.

With expert styling by Makram Bitar, the silhouettes—ranging from structured vests and ruffled blouses to voluminous sheer dresses—are allowed to command the frame, supported by the clean, minimalist lens of a true fashion editorial. By placing the subject within domestic environments that lean into cinematic absurdity, the work transforms standard portraiture into a conceptual study of form and space. The seamless collaboration between hair stylist Claire Grech and makeup artist Mel Arter ensures that every texture, from fabric pleats to the model’s gaze, remains sharp and purposeful. This collection represents a sophisticated evolution in brand storytelling, proving that high fashion remains at its most compelling when it embraces both technical precision and imaginative, unconventional composition.

With expert fashion styling from Léopold Duchemin, the series leans into an editorial minimalist aesthetic, where the interplay of textures—from shimmering metallic skirts and structured satin tops to worn-in leather jackets—becomes the narrative focus.

Whether through tight macro close-ups that celebrate skin texture or dreamlike, high-angle shots that frame figures in hazy, domestic settings, the project feels profoundly organic.

Project August Barron · ALL-IN N°9 - Sky Ferreira
August Barron elevates the traditional celebrity feature with ALL-IN N°9, a striking editorial portrait series that captures musician Sky Ferreira in a state of quiet, cinematic introspection. Eschewing the hyper-polished artifice often associated with music media, the project leans into a moody, low-key aesthetic that prioritizes texture and intimate atmosphere. Photographer Lengua masterfully utilizes natural light to carve out form, employing high-contrast chiaroscuro techniques that imbue the vintage-inflected interiors with a sense of noir-adjacent drama. Central to the visual narrative is the collaboration between fashion editor and stylist Makram Bitar, whose curation of fuzzy textures, soft tulle, and patterned separates creates a deliberate friction against the mustard-hued, plush velvet furniture. This interplay of color and material is further refined by hair stylist Louis Ghewy and makeup artist Thom Walker, who contribute to an evocative, lived-in look that feels both avant-garde and remarkably vulnerable. By centering Ferreira in these tightly composed, high-angle lifestyle shots, the series moves beyond mere promotion, offering a tactile exploration of personality and style.

August Barron’s latest collection, ALL-IN N°9, finds a grounded elegance through a series of striking visuals that masterfully bridge the gap between high fashion and organic landscape. Captured by photographer Esther Theaker, this fashion campaign leans into a deliberate, slowed-down aesthetic that prioritizes texture and intimate portraiture. The imagery flows through a garden setting, utilizing the interplay of dappled natural light and harsh outdoor shadows to create an evocative dialogue between structured garments and the wild, unkempt beauty of nature. The collection features intricate damask-inspired prints and bold floral motifs, which are brought to life through the lens with an emphasis on tactile storytelling.

Project August Barron · ALL-IN N°9 - Cristina Stolhe, Holli ...
August Barron’s latest venture, ALL-IN N°9, is a masterclass in editorial portraiture that subverts the traditional expectations of hair styling through a lens of tactile experimentation. Collaborating with photographer Cristina Stolhe and hair stylist Holli Smith, the project explores the architecture of the human form by turning the focus away from the face and toward the intricate narratives held within the nape of the neck and the silhouette of a hairstyle. Utilizing a mix of sharp natural light and calculated studio strobe, the series captures a diverse array of textures, from tight spiral ringlets and bleached-tip spikes to playful braided ribbons and unexpected sculptural embellishments. The project leans into editorial minimalism, allowing the tension between the organic subject matter and synthetic additions—such as medical cervical braces, pearl strands, and vibrant clip-in extensions—to dictate the visual rhythm of each shot. By stripping away the distraction of direct facial expression, the work forces a deeper engagement with the craft of grooming as a medium for artistic expression. With casting direction by Julia Lange, the collection feels both intimate and industrial, creating a compelling dialogue between modern fashion aesthetics and the raw, quiet vulnerability of its subjects. Every frame reflects a deliberate balance of color and structure, grounding complex styling techniques in a clean, contemporary visual language that defines the current creative landscape.
Project August Barron · ALL-IN N°9 - Viktor & Rolf
August Barron and Viktor & Rolf collide in this captivating fashion campaign, a high-concept exploration of avant-garde silhouettes and sculptural textiles. The collection serves as a playground for surrealist expression, where garments transcend traditional tailoring to become monolithic, architectural forms—think duvet-inspired coats, voluminous tulle skirts, and bed-pillow structures. Photographer Sharna Osborne expertly navigates this tension between the refined and the disruptive, utilizing a blend of sharp studio strobe lighting and grainy, nostalgic VHS lo-fi aesthetics. This editorial work feels both clinical and dreamlike, grounding extreme, oversized silhouettes in a minimalist environment that emphasizes the juxtaposition of soft fabrics against industrial props and silver chain-link masks. With creative styling by Danny Reed, the project leans into a conceptual, high-fashion vocabulary that challenges the viewer to reconsider the body in space, whether through the anonymity of a pillow-obscured head or the rhythmic motion blur of a captured stride. Supported by the precise beauty work of hair and makeup artist Kathinka Gernant, models Ilya Vermeulen and Katherine Vinten animate these fantastical creations with an understated, neutral presence. The result is a layered, highly textural study in modern luxury that successfully bridges the gap between commercial editorialism and experimental film, leaning into a distinctive, raw visual language that feels entirely contemporary yet archival in its deliberate, grainy aesthetic.
Project August Barron · Seven Minutes in Heaven with JT
August Barron invites us into a meticulously staged private world with Seven Minutes in Heaven with JT, a striking editorial portraiture campaign that blurs the lines between intimate lifestyle documentation and high-concept cinematic storytelling. Centered on the persona of entertainer JT, the project leans into a moody, nostalgic atmosphere, utilizing a distinctive leopard-print motif that grounds the subject in an environment that feels both retro and urgently current. Photographer Michella Bredahl masterfully manipulates perspective, employing clever mirror placements to create a doubled composition that pulls the viewer into the frame, effectively transforming a static interior space into a complex narrative environment.

With casting direction by Julia Lange, the project succeeds in capturing a sense of poised, calculated vulnerability. These images serve as more than just celebrity portraiture; they function as a masterclass in editorial minimalism, proving that when the gaze is this focused, every shadow and reflective surface carries significant weight.
