Project SSENSE · S/S 26 Circling Back Campaign
For the SSENSE S/S 26 Circling Back campaign, photographer Geray Mena orchestrates a sophisticated visual narrative that masterfully balances high-fashion ambition with an grounded, almost mundane reality. The editorial series leans into a distinct juxtaposition of luxury design and industrial austerity, placing models like Avah Adams and Eliise Jaasma in settings that range from minimalist, sterile kitchens to stark, turnstile-guarded corridors. By blending natural light with precise studio strobe techniques, Mena captures the tactile complexity of the collection, where oversized leather tailoring and delicate, ruching-heavy dresses occupy the same space as cardboard moving boxes and metallic trash cans. This interplay creates a compelling portrait of modern life, suggesting that the beauty of high-end fashion is best realized when set against the friction of everyday environments. The work excels as a fashion editorial by prioritizing clean, intentional compositions that highlight the texture of cable-knit sweaters and structured jackets, ensuring the garments remain the focal point despite the raw, documentary-style surroundings. Throughout the project, the focus remains on the synthesis of form and utility, grounding futuristic silhouettes in environments that feel both immediate and relatable. It is an evocative study of contemporary style, showcasing how carefully considered lighting and casting can elevate a commercial brief into a sharp, resonant aesthetic statement that lingers long after the initial glance.

The series spans from candid portraits to detailed still-life captures, set against industrial backgrounds and studio environments that underscore the connection between raw, organic forms and modern accessories.

The editorial features models Symone Lu and Tina Koveysha, with hair styling by Kazu Katahira and makeup artistry by Rommy Najor. The series highlights sculptural silhouettes, sheer lace detailing, and voluminous ruffles, often juxtaposed against raw, utilitarian, or vintage backdrops to create a clear editorial focus on textural contrast.

Produced by L'Éloi, the commercial employs live-action techniques to emphasize the GORE-TEX detailing and material construction. The project leans into a clean, graphic aesthetic, utilizing bold red and black color palettes to showcase the collaboration between the two labels.
Project SSENSE · “I do” want my cake and to eat it too
SSENSE presents an editorial campaign titled “I do” want my cake and to eat it too, a project exploring bridal-inspired aesthetics through a high-fashion lens.

Captured by photographer Reto Schmid, the work leans into a clean, editorial visual language defined by natural light and analogue film techniques.

Project SSENSE · SSENSE X BOTTEGA VENETA
SSENSE presents a luxury fashion editorial collaboration with Bottega Veneta, captured in a series of outdoor portraits that lean into a documentary aesthetic. Featuring model Willie Fidelis, the project utilizes natural light to ground the high-end apparel against rugged, earthy landscapes ranging from woodland paths to sandy shores. Photographed by Hill & Aubrey, the editorial employs a clean, vertical composition to emphasize texture and atmospheric mood.

Project SSENSE · EVERYBODY LOVES XAVIERSOBASED
In the latest visual feature for SSENSE, titled EVERYBODY LOVES XAVIERSOBASED, the platform leans into a refined editorial portrait aesthetic that feels both immediate and timeless. Captured through the lens of photographer Julius Frazer, the series strips away the noise of high-fashion excess, opting instead for a clean, contemporary fashion-focused narrative that centers entirely on the subject. Across a range of shots, the interplay of natural light and studio strobe creates a balanced visual environment where the subject’s distinctive silhouette and voluminous curls serve as the focal point. The styling, characterized by vivid graphic tees, chunky silver jewelry, and unexpected color accents like the bright orange glove, provides a sharp contrast against the minimalist, off-white architectural backdrops. Each frame functions as a study in composition, utilizing editorial minimalism to highlight the interplay between clothing texture and the subject's calm, contemplative gaze. By eschewing over-complicated set design, the project successfully elevates street-informed attire to the level of high-end editorial work. This collaboration between SSENSE and Frazer demonstrates how precision in lighting and a disciplined approach to subject placement can transform simple apparel into a cohesive visual story. The resulting imagery feels authentic and grounded, perfectly capturing a modern aesthetic that balances commercial appeal with an underlying sense of understated artistic cool.
Project SSENSE · Winter 2023 Ad Campaign
For their Winter 2023 ad campaign, SSENSE pivots away from traditional holiday tropes, choosing instead to lean into a calculated, industrial irony that redefines luxury fashion house storytelling. Captured through the lens of photographer Chris Maggio, the project functions as a high-concept editorial, blending the warmth of seasonal motifs with the stark, cold reality of a working studio. The narrative is defined by a series of deliberate juxtapositions—glossy red sleighs sit atop gray concrete floors, while artificial snow falls against pitch-black backgrounds illuminated by crisp studio strobe lighting. With talent Julia Fox anchoring the series, the imagery pushes a surreal aesthetic, from gravity-defying towers of gift boxes to models posing alongside orange traffic cones and industrial metalwork. Stylist Briana Andalore coordinates a wardrobe that oscillates between structured velvet midi dresses and fluffy white faux-fur, grounding the whimsy in a sophisticated, avant-garde silhouette. This campaign masterfully utilizes live-action technique to breathe texture into every shot, whether it is the fuzzy detail of a cardigan or the sharp sheen of a satin ribbon. Supported by the precise beauty work of hair stylist John Novotny, makeup artist Julian Stoller, and manicurist Nori Yamanaka, alongside production by Lauren Noonan and environmental builds by set designer Rosie Turnbull, the campaign serves as a masterclass in controlled, editorial minimalism that keeps the focus firmly on the interplay between grit and glamour.
