Numéro New York: Cream Of The Crop

Sep 2026

Numéro New York presents Cream Of The Crop, a fashion editorial project captured by photographer Roe Ethridge. The series leverages a clean, minimalist studio aesthetic to explore textural interplay, featuring an array of vibrant knitwear, leather, and layered ensembles. Stylists Esther Matilla and Julian Ganio curate the looks, which incorporate tactile elements ranging from organic produce to structured accessories. The project utilizes a mix of flash and natural lighting to create sharp, deliberate shadows across seamless backgrounds. Technique-wise, the work leans into an analogue film aesthetic, resulting in a distinct, grainy editorial look. The production team included hair stylist Levi Monarch, makeup artist Nolan Eakin, and set designer Mike Feswick, with casting by Evagria Sergeeva and Piergiorgio Del Moro under the direction of editor-in-chief Philip Utz.
