Aaron Esh: Aaron Esh S/S 25 Documented

Sep 2024

Aaron Esh presents 'S/S 25 Documented,' a monochromatic fashion portrait series that explores the intersection of contemporary tailoring and raw, tactile form. The project leans into a rigorous, minimalist aesthetic, using high-contrast lighting and a persistent monochrome palette to isolate the architectural qualities of the garments. Captured by photographer Daniele Fummo, the series emphasises the interplay between garment construction and portraiture. Art direction by Jamie Reid provides a clean, disciplined framework, while fashion editor Katy England shapes the collection’s silhouette through precise layering and fabric juxtaposition. Detailed hair by John Allan and makeup by Ana Takahashi maintain the series' focus on stark, cinematic clarity. The collection relies on analogue film techniques to capture grainy, emotive textures, ranging from sheer drapery to structured leather. The casting, featuring talent including Kiki Willems, Jonas Glöer, and Caren Jepkemei, centers on intimate, contemplative poses that strip away visual noise to highlight the raw materiality of the collection.
