Frankies Bikinis September Knits 2026

About

Frankies Bikinis explores an urban, off-duty aesthetic in their latest project, September Knits. The collection is captured through a nostalgic, documentary-style lens that favors candid movement and authentic street-level interactions over staged studio work. By weaving together high-contrast monochrome scenes and warm-toned, analog-inspired visuals, the series creates a tactile narrative focused on knitwear and transitional seasonal layering. Photographer David Portela leads the visual execution, with art direction by Stef Modares. The project highlights a relaxed lifestyle aesthetic, incorporating 1970s and 1990s stylistic cues through grainy, film-emulated textures. Styling by Marcus Allen defines the look with layered knits and accessories, while hair styling by Junya Nakashima rounds out the naturalistic character portraits shot against city architecture.
