Project Emilia Wickstead · Backstage Spring/Summer Emilia Wickstead
Emilia Wickstead’s Spring/Summer presentation is captured through a series of backstage documentary images. The collection, rooted in the luxury fashion sector, is explored through an intimate lens that highlights the technical preparation and quiet atmosphere preceding the runway show. Photographer Niall Hodson documents the event, moving between candid portraits and observed interactions. The project employs a mix of monochrome aesthetics and high-contrast lighting to emphasize texture, from delicate waffle-knit fabrics to structured plaid headscarves. By utilizing an analogue film approach and natural light, the work leans into a reportage style that highlights the minimalist details of the collection. The imagery frames the precision of runway beauty and the deliberate styling of the presentation, focusing on the intersection of garment construction and backstage reality.
Project Emilia Wickstead · Emilia Wickstead Autumn Winter 2026
Emilia Wickstead’s Autumn Winter 2026 campaign is a masterclass in architectural tailoring and editorial minimalism, stripping away the extraneous to leave only the purity of the garment. Through a series of sharp, deliberate portraits, the collection leans into the brand’s signature structural elegance, utilizing a mix of natural light and studio strobe to define the silhouettes. Photographer Niall Hodson captures the collection with a clinical, refined eye, allowing the interplay of light and shadow—ranging from high-key clarity to dramatic chiaroscuro—to emphasize the volume and texture of the pieces. The styling, curated by Agata Belcen, anchors the garments in a modern, grounded reality, pairing vibrant, solid-toned midi dresses with unexpected layers, while the precise work of hair stylist Sam McKnight ensures a crisp, polished finish that mirrors the collection’s precise lines. By utilizing minimalist, neutral environments, the campaign forces a direct confrontation between the viewer and the clothing’s craftsmanship, highlighting intricate details like houndstooth patterns, botanical-textured evening wear, and stiffened metallic bodices. With casting direction by Simone Schofer, the imagery maintains a neutral, composed presence, allowing the focus to remain firmly on the juxtaposition of form, color, and fabric. The result is a cohesive, high-fashion editorial narrative that feels both timeless and aggressively contemporary, showcasing how sophisticated restraint serves as the most powerful tool for luxury visual storytelling.
Project Emilia Wickstead · Pre-Fall 2024 Ad Campaign
Emilia Wickstead returns to a place of refined, graphic precision with her Pre-Fall 2024 ad campaign, a collection of imagery that celebrates the house's signature mastery of silhouette and color. Through the lens of photographer Indigo Lewin, the project leans into a sense of editorial minimalism that feels both timeless and sharp, stripping back the noise to center focus squarely on the craftsmanship of the garments. The campaign features model Michelle Dockery, whose direct, contemplative presence serves as an anchor amidst the vibrant prints and structured tailoring. Stylist Harry Lambert curates a series of unexpected pairings, such as bold orange hosiery against navy midi dresses or bright yellow Mary Jane heels beneath sharp black blazers, elevating the collection with a sense of modern irreverence. Complementing this, James Rowe’s sleek hair direction and Zoe Taylor’s nuanced makeup allow the textures—from fine herringbone jackets to intricate floral prints—to take center stage. By utilizing a mix of studio strobe and natural light, the campaign achieves an even, polished finish that highlights the structural integrity of every piece. The resulting imagery is a masterclass in luxury fashion house branding, where the interplay of light and neutral studio backdrops invites the viewer to appreciate the quiet, deliberate elegance synonymous with the Emilia Wickstead label.
Project Emilia Wickstead · Pre-Fall 2025 Ad Campaign
Emilia Wickstead’s Pre-Fall 2025 ad campaign serves as a masterclass in the refined tension between structural precision and organic texture, grounding luxury fashion in a language of quiet confidence. Captured through the lens of photographer Phil Hewitt, the collection comes to life through a series of striking portraits that prioritize architectural silhouettes and artisanal craftsmanship. Featuring model Thomasin McKenzie, the imagery highlights the house's signature approach to tailoring, shifting seamlessly from sharp, lime-green wool jackets to opulent, metallic gold evening gowns with intricate lace-like embroidery. Stylist Agata Belcen anchors the visual narrative by pairing these saturated, high-fashion textiles with intimate, minimalist settings that force the viewer to engage directly with the fabric’s tactile quality. By integrating natural light and studio strobe techniques, the campaign achieves a polished, editorial aesthetic that feels both contemporary and timeless. The use of bold, abstract paintings as backdrops adds a layer of artistic complexity, creating a rhythmic dialogue between the vibrant magenta and vivid green garments and the dynamic energy of the art. These portraits lean into a clean, centered composition that strips away artifice, allowing the meticulous construction of every collar and seam to take center stage. Ultimately, this project reaffirms the brand’s enduring commitment to elevating luxury fashion through a restrained, focused, and deeply considered creative lens.
Project Emilia Wickstead · FW25
Emilia Wickstead’s FW25 collection campaign leans into 1960s-inspired silhouettes, captured through a sophisticated editorial lens. The project juxtaposes controlled studio portraiture with naturalistic street-based imagery to showcase the collection's focus on structured tailoring, draped eveningwear, and intricate fabric textures. Photographer Nadine Ijewere balances retro motifs with a clean, contemporary aesthetic, working with stylist Harry Lambert to emphasize architectural shapes and formal elegance. The series highlights structural beauty through volume and deliberate styling, featuring sculptural bouffant and beehive updos by hair stylist Soichi Inagaki. The visual narrative shifts between soft-light studio compositions and monochromatic outdoor scenes, utilizing an analogue film sensibility to highlight the collection's rich palette and metallic floral appliques.
