Double Magazine: Photography by Mark Kean, Styling by Akeem Smith

Nov 2025

This fashion editorial for Double Magazine presents a series of studies in minimalist composition and texture. Photographed by Mark Kean and styled by Akeem Smith, the series leans into a refined, understated aesthetic that prioritizes sculptural silhouettes and the interplay of soft light. Across the portraits, the imagery transitions between high-contrast monochrome and warm-toned palettes, often utilizing a deliberate analogue film grain to ground the fashion in a tactile, timeless quality. The production features precise set design by Suzanne Beirne, who employs draped linens, geometric plinths, and organic floral elements to frame the models—including Baptiste Vivo—within a clean studio environment. The creative team, rounded out by hair stylist Tom Wright and makeup artist Thom Walker, emphasizes high-contrast facial structures and polished grooming to complement the layered, varied textiles of the garments. The result is an editorial exploration of form, utilizing both hard and diffused lighting to achieve a precise, rhythmic visual narrative.
