About

Akin to, an editorial fashion campaign for Present Space, presents a minimalist study of silhouette and texture. The series employs a restrained visual language, shifting between high-contrast monochrome studio portraits and warm, earthy outdoor compositions. Creative directors Juan Duque and Nima Habibzadeh anchor the project, collaborating with photographer Andrew Jacobs to capture a range of candid, intimate interactions. The styling, helmed by Marcus Cuffie, emphasizes clean tailoring and tactile knitwear, with hair by Dre Demry Sanders and makeup by Janessa Paré refining the contemporary aesthetic. Casting was managed by Anita Bitton and Richard Nguyen, featuring models Jackson Wakefield, Lainey Hearn, Lexy Hearn, MJ Herrera, and Zahra Traore.
