W Magazine: Natural Selection

Sep 2025

For W Magazine's 'Natural Selection' editorial, photographer Jamie Hawkesworth explores the intersection of the human form and sculptural fashion. The series utilizes a stark monochrome palette, leaning into a gritty, cinematic aesthetic that prioritizes minimalist framing and high-contrast composition. Fashion editor and stylist Brian Molloy curates a collection of avant-garde silhouettes, ranging from structured prosthetic pieces to tailored, clean-lined garments. The visual narrative is defined by the tension between natural and artificial environments, alternating between studio-based chiaroscuro effects and outdoor settings characterized by hard light and organic textures. Model Noor Khan serves as the central figure throughout the project, with contributions from hair stylist Gary Gill and makeup artist Lucia Pica providing a polished, clean finish to the avant-garde styling.
