An ode to Melanie is a designer fashion editorial series for prototype_, captured by photographer Carin Backoff. The project leans into a clean, studio-focused aesthetic, blending sharp direct flash with softer natural light to showcase a variety of textures and layered silhouettes. The editorial features model Libby Taverner across a range of interior settings, from minimal studio backdrops to architectural windowsill poses overlooking a waterfront.
Fashion editor Alastair McKimm leads the styling, curating an ensemble-heavy wardrobe that highlights contemporary garment construction. The creative team includes hair stylist Lucas Wilson and makeup artist Jamal Scott, with manicures by Honey and production design by Milena Gorum.
