PUBLIC Editions So, Why Not? 2025

About

So, Why Not? is a designer fashion editorial series for PUBLIC Editions, featuring model Tabitha Bennett. Captured by photographer Sarah Piantadosi, the series explores a blend of avant-garde textures and vintage-inspired silhouettes through an evocative, monochrome lens. The project leans into a dramatic aesthetic, combining structured tailoring and intricate detailing with high-contrast, moody lighting setups. Styling by Eline Hoyois anchors the project with heavily distressed denim, lace corsetry, and sculptural garments set against both stark architectural backgrounds and dense, natural landscapes. The look is punctuated by technical beauty choices, including platinum blonde finger-wave hair by Andrea Martinelli and precision makeup by Lauren Reynolds, which together emphasize a tactile, retro-influenced sensibility across the editorial.
