Glass Magazine: Notes On Stillness

Aug 2025

Notes On Stillness is a fashion editorial series for Glass Magazine that explores the intersection of traditional Japanese architecture and modern urban landscapes. Photographed by Otto Masters, the project captures a series of contemplative portraits and environmental scenes that lean into a documentary-style aesthetic. The imagery is defined by its use of analogue film, soft lighting, and minimalist compositions that highlight the textural details of both the garments and the surrounding built environment. The series features styling by Masashi Konno, whose work on the model's precise, blunt-cut hair serves as a recurring motif across the editorial. Casting by MC Barnes introduces a focused visual narrative, placing subjects within interiors featuring tatami matting and shoji screens, as well as exterior settings marked by concrete facades and urban streetscapes. The work utilizes a palette that balances pastel tones with monochrome treatments, resulting in a cohesive visual study of stillness within the city.
