Dressed In Isolation

June 26, 2020

Remember jeans? They're a fond yet distant memory, now relegated to the back of our minds and closets. Sarah Assbring, the sole member of office's favorite Swedish band El Perro del Mar, did a photoshoot to commemorate the beauty of being dressed during isolation. Photographer Evelina Sollander explains the concept of the shoot further:

"Sarah has chosen to isolate herself. The wide landscape and voluminous styling helps her create a distance and shield herself from all the bad that is happening on our planet today."

Featuring Assbring in various garments from emerging Swedish designers, Sollander wanted to showcase existing and up-and-coming talent in the country. This objective is further reinforced through the all-Swedish team behind the striking shoot.

Perfection is the recipe for disaster for a lot of us. You will always fail in the pursuit of perfect... but the journey is fun. - Kevin Ponce

Everyone finds zen in their work in a different way. It's a really important part, having something in your work that feels good despite what else is going on. Once you put yourself into that state of flow, a lot comes out. -Martine Ali

A lot of the time we have narratives of people, what we think they are going to be like, or a certain perception of them. For them to blow away all of those things is incredibly cool. That's my main objective and the whole point of writing, to keep the narrative going, to keep cultural criticism going, to keep history going. - Kerane Marcellus
