About

T: The New York Times Style Magazine explores the intersection of classic tailoring and functional apparel in its Sportswear editorial project. Photographer Kwabena Sekyi Appiah-nti captures the collection through a series of moody, nocturnal portraits set against austere, sandy terrains and dark outdoor environments. Defined by a raw and gritty aesthetic, the imagery utilizes direct flash lighting to create stark high-contrast shadows. This technique emphasizes the tactile qualities of the garments, ranging from voluminous shaggy fur coats to quilted puffer jackets, while maintaining a clean, graphic focus that isolates the subjects from the pitch-black backgrounds.
