Cold Gloss is a fashion editorial project that explores the intersection of sleek, high-contrast apparel and stark, industrial environments. Captured by photographer Karim Tabar, the series leans into an aesthetic defined by gritty urban landscapes and the sharp textures of leather and metallic hardware.
Utilizing analogue film and natural light, the work frames the subject against weathered railroad tracks, corrugated industrial silos, and wintry, frozen surfaces. The project pairs a monochromatic palette with earthy, desaturated tones to emphasize the juxtaposition between manufactured materials and organic, cold-weather settings.
