About

Off-Duty stands as a compelling exploration of character-driven narratives within the landscape of luxury fashion houses and contemporary editorial photography. Photographed by Alexandra Alvarez Garcia, the series captures a distinct subversion of corporate and utilitarian aesthetics, leaning into a nostalgic yet modern visual language. Through a masterful use of natural light, the project elevates mundane settings—from locker-lined corridors to industrial gym spaces—into high-concept editorial canvases. The styling, curated by Fashion Editor Andra Amelia Buhai, plays with classic archetypes, juxtaposing crisp shirting and vintage office wear against the raw, graphic energy of track jackets and boxing gear. The project is further anchored by the precise, retro-inspired hair work of Yumiko Hikage and the polished, nuanced makeup artistry of Rebecca Davenport, which together frame the subjects—including model Georgie Hobday—in states of contemplative stillness. Whether utilizing a direct, portrait-focused lens or employing dynamic live-action techniques, the collection feels remarkably cohesive. By balancing severe, austere backgrounds with vibrant, detailed textures, the imagery invites a quiet, sophisticated study of personhood in uniform. Ultimately, Off-Duty succeeds by maintaining an editorial minimalism that allows every stitch, silhouette, and subtle expression to resonate with intentionality, solidifying its place as a standout exercise in contemporary lifestyle portraiture that bridges the gap between commercial polish and authentic human presence.
