Side-note: Vol 1

Jan 2024

Vol 1 serves as an editorial showcase for Side-note, emphasizing avant-garde silhouettes and sculptural fashion design. The series explores the intersection of high-concept apparel and minimalist studio environments, utilizing directional lighting to highlight the intricate textures of metallic textiles and foam-based props. Photographer Jess Ruby James captures these forms through both clean, high-contrast studio shots and monochromatic portraiture. With make-up by Jasmine Abdllaoui, the project maintains an artistic sensibility that prioritizes volume and architecture. The work leans into editorial techniques to present layered styling and abstract garment construction against neutral, seamless backdrops.
