I love the main edit, it's all about body language. The concept is very simple but it's very well thought out and serves to illustrate how gender comes through in the way you carry yourself. It does feel like something out of a pretentious gallery but the luxurious clothing elevates to something entirely new.

^^^ It’s a masterful simplicity that’s so effortless and precise. I’ve been mesmerized by the main story, taking in the mixture of compositions, textures, color-palette and tone all blending in so seamlessly, and with such lightness and finesse.

Every story is so solid. If you’re fortunate to have been shaped by this fantastic era in HF, you can’t help but abide by the highest of standards. If this concept were shot in 2018, it would all be dour-looking kidz— or Bella pouting with no energy, propped up against an IKEA-setpiece, and shot in dull, flat-lighting (hello Pop mag…).
