HE CONG, JULIA NOBIS AND IDA HEINER STAR IN THE PORTS 1961
SPRING-SUMMER 2023 CAMPAIGN, LENSED BY THE INCOMPARABLE
STEVEN MEISEL WITH THE COLLABORATIVE VISION COMPOSED
BETWEEN FABIEN BARON AND KARL TEMPLER.
THE COLLECTION IS A CELEBRATION OF INDIVIDUALITY AND THE MODERNITY OF STYLE, FEATURING AN IRREVERENT MIX OF TEXTURES: LEATHER, WOOL, CURLY SHEARLING. OVERSIZED BOMBER JACKETS ARE WORN WITH FRILLY LEATHER SKIRTS. BODY CONSCIOUS WOOL DRESSES MIX SARTORIAL WITH CORSETRY, WHILE WILD WINTER WHITE SHEARLING COATS EMBRACE THE WEARER. ALL WORN WITH CHUNKY HIT-THE-PAVEMENT BOOTS AND JEWELRY THAT RESEMBLES MEGAWATT DIAMONDS BUT CAST IN SILVER AND GOLD, FOR THE FINAL PERFECT TOUCH.
SLICKED HAIR AND CLEAN MAKE-UP LOOKS HIGHLIGHT THE BEAUTY,
MOVEMENT AND STRENGTH OF THE GARMENTS, PHOTOGRAPHED IN BLACK
AND WHITE. ON A BACKDROP INSPIRED BY 1940/50S FILM NOIR, MULTIPLE
LIGHTING ANGLES CREATE SHADOWS THAT UNDERSCORE THE DRAMA OF THE
SEASON.
KEY LOOKS FROM THE SHOOT INCLUDE GRAPHIC PRINTS AND ANGULAR CUT
SHOULDERS, HIGHLIGHTING A STRONG YET FEMININE IMAGE.
STRIKING SILHOUETTES BROUGHT AN AIR OF MYSTERY AND INTRIGUE INTO
THE SEASON, PLAYING UP THE EXPRESSION OF THE CAMPAIGN
