Special Projects AWA 2025

Description

Photographed by Calvin Pausania for the project AWA, model Awa Diallo poses in a form-fitting black long-sleeve dress against a smooth studio gradient backdrop. Hair stylist Ilham Mestour crafts an avant-garde, sculptural copper-toned bob that sweeps over one side of the face, complemented by understated makeup from Naima Bremer. High-contrast, low-key directional lighting casts the model's body into a sharp graphic silhouette while illuminating the architectural contours of the hairstyle, clavicle, and profile.
