About

Pop Magazine’s "The Now Thing" is a fashion editorial series that explores the interplay between human presence and static, anatomical forms. Photographed by Mark Kean, the project leans into a minimalist studio aesthetic, often placing models among clusters of nude mannequins to create a sense of surreal, architectural narrative. Fashion editor and stylist Stephanie Waknine anchors the visual direction, utilizing structured tailoring, oversized coats, and sharp blazers to establish a clean, contemporary silhouette. The series frequently utilizes analogue film and natural light to balance high-contrast monochrome frames with warm, sepia-toned sequences. Through the lens of creative collaboration, the project features hair styling by Tom Wright, makeup by Gemma Smith-Edhouse, casting by Julia Lange, and manicures by Adam Slee, with Charlie Jones appearing as the lead model.
