Circle Zero Eight Caroline Dubois 2025

About

This fashion editorial project for Circle Zero Eight centers on professional boxer Caroline Dubois, exploring the intersection of high-performance athletics and structured aesthetic form. Through a series of studio sessions, the work utilizes moody, low-key lighting and high-speed techniques to capture the intensity of the ring alongside more restrained, sculptural portraits. Photographer Sophie Jones documents the subject across a range of environments, shifting from gritty, high-contrast action shots to clean, minimalist compositions. The styling bridges these two worlds, juxtaposing functional boxing gear and athletic tape with intricate fashion-forward garments. The production features hair styling by Lauraine Bailey, makeup by Athena Paginton, manicures by Hayley Evans Smith, and movement direction by Yagamoto.
