Phyllis Posnick, Fashion Stylist, New York

Description

This striking editorial portrait features a person whose face is completely obscured by an aged, dark brown leather football positioned centrally over their head. Visible cream-coloured laces run vertically down the middle of the worn leather surface, while strands of fine hair frame the edges of the football mask. The subject's bare shoulders and collarbone are visible below, captured against a softly textured, neutral grey backdrop. The lighting is diffused and gentle, highlighting the rich patina, creases, and texture of the vintage sports equipment. Styled by Phyllis Posnick, the composition creates an intriguing juxtaposition between fashion portraiture and surreal object concealment.
