Pop Magazine

Apr 2025

The Now Thing is a fashion editorial series for Pop Magazine, exploring structured silhouettes and high-fashion tailoring. Captured by photographer Mark Kean, the project leans into a minimalist studio aesthetic, often incorporating anatomical mannequins to create a sense of static juxtaposition against live subjects. The series utilises analogue film techniques to achieve its distinct visual texture. Fashion editor and stylist Stephanie Waknine anchors the series with a focus on oversized coats, layered tailoring, and sharp accessories. The imagery navigates between clean, high-contrast monochrome portraits and warm, amber-toned compositions, employing layers of translucent materials to add depth. Featuring model Charlie Jones, the shoot is rounded out by the creative contributions of hair stylist Tom Wright, makeup artist Gemma Smith-Edhouse, casting director Julia Lange, and manicurist Adam Slee.
