CDLM

Sep 2026

The CDLM Collection 10 lookbook presents a series of editorial portraits that explore the interplay between structured contemporary tailoring and transparent layering. Designed by Chris Peters, the collection emphasizes artisanal textures through statement metal hardware, intricate leather work, and sharp silhouettes, ranging from oversized outerwear to refined monochromatic ensembles. Captured by photographer Sam Penn under the creative direction of Bruce Usher, the project leans into a minimalist commercial aesthetic. Many of the portraits are shot through storefront glass or reflective surfaces, which introduce natural, double-exposure overlays of urban architecture and street scenes onto the studio-lit subjects. This layering technique adds depth to the clean, vertical compositions. Styling by Alex Harrington provides a consistent, contemplative tone across the series. The project also features contributions from hair stylist Dylan Chavles, makeup artist Jamal Scott, and casting director Rachel Chandler.
