Side-note: It Takes a Village

Jan 2025

It Takes a Village is a conceptual fashion editorial for Side-note that explores the relationship between scale and sartorial structure. Through a series of surreal, Lilliputian compositions, the project positions the human form within meticulously crafted miniature environments, ranging from sprawling toy landscapes to intimate dioramas featuring tiny figures and architectural models. Photographer and creative director Jake Terrey employs cinematic and clean lighting techniques to anchor the whimsical set design of Jasmine Christie. The styling, led by Karla Clarke, balances the playfulness of the miniature props with sharp, avant-garde tailoring and varied textures, from voluminous red dresses and pinstripe suits to structured denim and sheer capes. The production is supported by hair styling from Daren Borthwick and make-up by Teneille Sorgiovanni, resulting in a cohesive visual narrative that leans into monochromatic palettes and high-contrast studio portraiture.
