WSJ: Market Report: Model on Duty

Sep 2025

WSJ’s Market Report: Model on Duty is a fashion editorial series that prioritizes architectural tailoring and material texture. Photographed by Phil Engelhardt, the images lean into a clean, minimalist aesthetic, utilising soft light against a seamless white backdrop to bring focus to the intricate layers and tactile qualities of the clothing. Featuring model Mary Ukech, the styling by Jasmine Hassett balances oversized silhouettes with precise detailing, ranging from structured wool coats to fluid satin and patchworked leather. The editorial is supported by the work of hair stylist Kiyoko Odo, makeup artist Crystabel Efemena Riley, casting director Julia Lange, and set designer Haleimah Darwish, each contributing to the graphic, editorial compositions throughout the series.
