Banana Republic San Francisco, 1978 2025

Description

This monochrome fashion editorial image for Banana Republic's San Francisco 1978 project captures a person from behind as they walk along a sandy beach. The subject wears a textured, belted coat and trousers, striding away from the camera and leaving a distinct line of footprints trailing back through the damp sand. The composition emphasizes quiet solitude along the shoreline with soft natural light and a restrained desaturated palette. Sonia Szóstak photographed the scene under the creative direction of Michael Scanlon, with hair styling by Michał Bielecki and makeup by Dan Duran.
