Barneys presents "Meet the Designers," an editorial portrait series that offers an intimate look at a cohort of emerging and established industry talents. Captured by photographer Jimi Franklin, the campaign traverses both private, domestic interiors and authentic urban settings to ground the subjects in relaxed, personal environments.
Working under the fashion direction of Julie Gilhart, the project leans into a clean, documentary-style approach. The imagery utilizes natural light to highlight individual textures and silhouettes, spanning settings from hotel suites and living rooms to street-level encounters. The series maintains a consistent visual language defined by a warm, desaturated palette and an observational framing technique.
