Project PUBLIC Editions · I must step out on the moors again
In the striking visual series I must step out on the moors again, PUBLIC Editions masterfully interrogates the boundaries between heritage luxury fashion and the stark, untamed aesthetic of the British landscape. This editorial campaign acts as a high-concept dialogue between the polished artifice of couture and the rugged, weathered reality of a remote moorland setting. Under the guiding vision of Creative Director Alex McWhirter and the lens of photographer Siân Davey, the project leans into cinematic storytelling, utilizing natural light to elevate the tactile richness of complex textiles. Featuring model Helena Olmedo, the imagery oscillates between surrealism and classic portraiture, juxtaposing avant-garde silhouettes against desolate stone archways and mist-covered hills. The styling, curated by Eline Hoyois, weaves together eclectic garments—from intricate lace corsetry to sculptural capes—that command attention against the muted, earthy palette of the terrain. Hair stylist Sophie Jane Anderson and makeup artist Grace Sinnott ensure that every look remains grounded in a raw, authentic beauty that refuses to compete with the dramatic scale of the surroundings. By blending lifestyle warmth with a distinct editorial edge, the project captures a sense of defiant movement and volume. Ultimately, this work stands as a testament to the power of deliberate, context-driven fashion imagery that feels both historical in its grounding and refreshingly modern in its execution.

Styling by Eline Hoyois anchors the project with heavily distressed denim, lace corsetry, and sculptural garments set against both stark architectural backgrounds and dense, natural landscapes.

Project PUBLIC Editions · People Wearing the St. George's Cros ...
In the latest visual exploration from PUBLIC Editions, titled People Wearing the St. George's Cross, the platform ventures into the intersection of cultural identity and contemporary fashion. Through a series of stark, high-contrast black and white images, the project treats everyday attire as a potent signifier of belonging and public expression. Captured through the lens of photographer Jack Webb, the work leans into an observational approach that feels both timeless and urgent. By presenting these portraits side-by-side, the edit invites viewers to consider how a singular symbol—the St. George's Cross—is reclaimed and repurposed across different personal styles and social environments. The aesthetic firmly resides in the realm of documentary, utilizing analogue film to strip away the noise of modern digital saturation, favoring instead the raw texture and inherent honesty of the medium. This editorial focus highlights clothing not merely as apparel, but as a narrative tool for storytelling in the digital media landscape. By centering on these candid, often crowded settings, the project successfully captures the interplay between individual subjectivity and collective representation. The result is a refined, minimalist study that avoids overly curated polish, opting instead for a gritty, authentic documentation of the visual vernacular that defines our streets today, ultimately proving the power of a single, repeated motif to anchor a wider cultural conversation.
Project PUBLIC Editions · PUBLIC Editions Spring 2026 Covers: ...
PUBLIC Editions embraces a bold, surrealist aesthetic for its Spring 2026 cover series, challenging the traditional boundaries of high-end luxury fashion houses. By placing model Helena Olmedo in a vast, sprawling landscape, the team creates an immediate visual tension that demands attention. The standout imagery features Olmedo balancing a vibrant red chair upon her head, a deliberate and whimsical subversion of domesticity that transforms a mundane object into a high-fashion accessory. This avant-garde editorial approach is anchored by the precise creative direction of Alex McWhirter, whose vision ensures the composition remains both striking and cohesive. Photographer Siân Davey masterfully utilizes natural light to capture the stark contrast between the subject and the rural surroundings, leaning into sharp shadows that define the silhouette against the horizon. The project, styled by Eline Hoyois with grooming from hair stylist Sophie Jane Anderson and makeup artist Grace Sinnott, excels in its minimalist construction. By eschewing over-saturated set design in favor of open, cinematic framing, the campaign highlights the intricate detailing of the bodice and skirt ensemble. This series does not merely document a collection; it crafts a narrative of deliberate eccentricity, proving that luxury fashion can be both intellectually rigorous and visually arresting when executed with such confident, editorial precision.
Project PUBLIC Editions · QUINTET - Issue 9
In the latest installment of the QUINTET series, Issue 9 by PUBLIC Editions, the project navigates the complex intersection of luxury fashion houses and modern editorial photography. This collection serves as a profound visual meditation on texture, form, and the human silhouette. Photographer Mitchell O'Neil orchestrates a masterful interplay between the subjects and their environments, leaning into the tension between minimalist, colour-blocked backgrounds and the tactile richness of the garments. The project leans heavily into the editorial aesthetic, utilizing a sophisticated mix of studio strobe and natural light to elevate the styling by Jack Collins. With a diverse cast including Matthieu Picard, Michael Zielinski, Oladipo Ezekiel, and Paolo Grebic, the imagery oscillates between raw, cinematic portraits and high-concept fashion narratives. Techniques such as low-key, chiaroscuro lighting are used to carve out sharp, graphic compositions that emphasize individual facial structure and the intricate detailing of distressed knits and metallic textiles. The inclusion of subtle, deliberate details—from feathered textures to painted facial motifs—confirms a commitment to avant-garde portraiture that challenges traditional sartorial presentation. By stripping away the superfluous, the work allows the deliberate interplay of light and material to take center stage, establishing QUINTET Issue 9 as a definitive study in contemporary male aesthetics, where the quiet power of the subject is consistently balanced against the dramatic, shadow-heavy lighting that defines the series' visual signature.
