Project Christopher Esber · Christopher Esber Resort 26
Christopher Esber’s Resort 26 collection campaign masterfully juxtaposes the architectural precision of modern luxury fashion against the raw, unrefined backdrop of a desert salvage yard. Through the lens of photographer Diana Louise Bartlett, the project leans into a cinematic visual language that emphasizes the intricate construction of the garments. With fashion styling by Ilona Hamer, the collection highlights signature cut-out detailing, intricate ruching, and sculptural silhouettes that feel both daring and calculated. Model Ella Rattigan anchors these complex pieces, navigating the arid landscape with a quiet, grounded confidence that highlights the tactile contrast between velvet, crochet, and sleek metal hardware against rusted vintage automobiles. The editorial execution relies heavily on natural light, utilizing the harsh, golden-hour sun to cast long, sharp shadows that amplify the textures of the apparel. By framing the subject within the confined geometry of car interiors or across vast, open asphalt highways, the production achieves a classic editorial feel that feels grounded in 35mm film aesthetics. Hair stylist Kelly Peach complements the sharp lines of the clothing with a sleek, chin-length bob, ensuring the focus remains squarely on the collection's interplay of pattern and form. Ultimately, the campaign is a testament to the brand's ability to blend high-fashion sophistication with a rugged, atmospheric sensibility that lingers long after the final frame.

Project Christopher Esber · Fall 2026 Ready-To-Wear Lookbook
For the Christopher Esber Fall 2026 Ready-To-Wear lookbook, photographer Pierre Toussaint delivers an masterclass in editorial minimalism, stripping back the noise to focus entirely on the architectural precision of the collection. The imagery channels a refined, moody atmosphere, utilizing soft studio strobe lighting to navigate the complex interplay between deep shadows and the varied material palette—from high-shine crinkled synthetics to fluid, sheer lace and dense, tactile furs. Working alongside models Asti and Nabila Leunig, Toussaint leans into a monochromatic aesthetic, utilizing a muted dark grey backdrop that allows the sophisticated tailoring and structural cutouts of the garments to take center stage. The execution feels deliberate and sculptural, with hair stylist Pete Lennon and makeup artist Filomena Natoli contributing to the clean, high-fashion look through precise grooming and subtle, winged liner accents. Every composition prioritizes the silhouette, whether emphasizing the flowing geometry of a fringe-adorned gown or the robust volume of a quilted puffer jacket.
