The Layers collection by Alex Saint Studio explores emotional narratives through upcycled fashion, symbolizing identity and protection from childhood to adulthood.
Inspired by the symbolism of the Fire Horse, the story explores the horse as a shared emotional language across cultures balancing Western equestrian refinement with Eastern understandings of instinct, strength, and spiritual presence.
I am a photographer based in Japan.My work focuses on capturing subtle strangeness, uncanny tension, and slight misalignments found in everyday life. This editorial reflects that perspective.When I saw the styling, it immediately evoked the mood of the early 2000s.I found it fascinating to see young Reiwageneration models embody that mood, and I wanted to capture the tension created by that temporal shift.
When I first envisioned this shoot, I only knew I wanted AI- AI-generated backgrounds, but I didn't yet understand why. I had a vision of the final images, but not the meaning behind them. Then, through the back and forth with Vanessa, who did the AI edits, I kept looking at the results. Without thinking, just letting the images sink in, it came to me.
BIZIRAUN. THE LASTING IMAGERY - (Biziraun, Basque for " enduring" or "lasting") This editorial is a creative collaboration between designer Asier Quintana, stylist & visual artist Chenert Allikmaa and fashion photographer Hannah Skovbjerg. This editorial revises Asier's first collection 'Biziraun', which is built from fragments of vintage clothing and personal familiar archive, and follows a story: A mother. Her children. A house that hums with memory. In this spectral tableau, garments become vessels, holding grief, inheritance, and the unspoken ties between generations.
This editorial traces a boyhood unbound, where gestures are authentic and clothing is exploratory. Evoked is the disrobed sensuality of the 2010s imagery, a time when being a teen meant shared playlists, blog posts and unrealistic dreams. Here, fragility is embraced and used for quiet unrest. There is no calling for comfort in a solid identity, but prolonged curiosity is satisfying enough.

Art direction and styling by Alexandra Artemova using Chetou, Balenciaga, Jaded London, Zara, and vintage archive from Alexandra Artemova.

Once an industrial hall, today a versatile event space, it provided the perfect backdrop for a fashion editorial that combines urban flair, vintage charm, and luxurious modernity. A special moment inspired photographer Shin Jeong Hoon: a taxi in front of the venue became the symbol of the editorial. From this spontaneous impression, the concept of Girls on Taxi was born, a mix of Vintage, Fashion, Sexy, Urban, Modern Woman, and Luxury.
