Who What Wear: Zaya Wade

Apr 2025

Who What Wear features Zaya Wade in this wide-ranging editorial series, captured by photographer Sophia Wilson. The feature leans into a series of distinct aesthetic environments, moving from the industrial grit of an auto repair workshop and a restaurant kitchen to the vivid, retro-styled surroundings of a diner booth. Creative direction by Jeanie Mordukhay and styling by Thomas Christos Kikis define the visual identity of the shoot, which incorporates eclectic textures ranging from patent leather and tweed to feathers and necktie-constructed fabrics. Throughout the series, the imagery shifts between high-contrast flash photography and soft, natural daylight. Completing the creative team, hair stylist Miles Jeffries and makeup artist Tasha Reiko Brown lean into polished, graphic beauty looks to complement the editorial silhouettes. The project captures a series of editorial portraits with varied techniques including hard light, saturated color, and film-inspired textures.
