Elle Australia: 'Best Western'

Dec 2018

Best Western is a fashion editorial series produced for Elle Australia, centered on the aesthetic of modern Americana. Photographed by Simon Lekias, the project features a series of portraits and full-body shots that highlight the texture and structural details of the garments. The work leans into a clean, minimalist studio environment to allow the apparel—ranging from fringed leather jackets to denim-on-denim ensembles—to remain the focal point. Styling by Sara Smith pairs classic western elements with contemporary tailoring, while hair styling by Michele McQuillan provides a candid, windblown texture. The series utilizes natural light to maintain an even, soft tonality throughout the collection. Additional makeup artistry for the shoot was provided by Kellie Stratton.
