Description

For their Sportive editorial in The Gentlewoman, photographer Karim Sadli and fashion editor Jonathan Kaye explore the intersection of structured tailoring and athletic leisure. Featuring model Charlie Jones, the series channels a relaxed, candid energy through a sequence of portraits captured in transit and pastoral settings. The narrative leans into natural light, utilizing both soft, diffused tones and high-contrast, directional sun to accentuate the tactile qualities of knitwear and technical sportswear. Building on this aesthetic, the editorial incorporates grooming contributions from hair stylist Stephane Lancien and makeup artist Christelle Cocquet to maintain a grounded, authentic look. With casting direction by Julia Lange and manicure work by Laura Forget, the project maintains a consistent monochrome visual language that prioritizes texture and silhouette.
