ME+EM

May 2024

The ME+EM May Lookbook presents a collection of contemporary fashion pieces shot against stark, outdoor landscapes. The series leans into clean, editorial aesthetics, utilizing natural light to highlight the tailoring and material textures of the garments across various terrains, including white sand dunes, rocky formations, and still water environments. Photographer Charlie Gates and creative director Ashleigh Barrie lead the execution of this fashion editorial. Model Manuela Sanchez features throughout, showcased in a variety of seasonal looks ranging from structured trouser suits and knitwear to patterned dresses. The imagery relies on the contrast between soft, organic settings and refined silhouettes, employing both clean lifestyle shots and deliberate editorial compositions.
