More Memories

November 24, 2020

Facetasm’s SS21 documentary further expounds upon the brand's runway show and this idea of memories. As a part of Rakuten Fashion Week’s “by R” project based on the concept of the “Creator’s Eye,” which is a series of documentaries that focus on different sides of fashion, Facetasm shows behind-the-scenes footage of its SS21 show. Facetasm’s documentary concentrates on the perspective of one of the brand's favorite models, Shuntaro Yanagi.

Throughout the course of the documentary, the audience gets to see Yanagi prepare for the SS21 Facetasm show, from him getting to the show venue to him walking on the runway. It also captures the real nature of the current world, as we see Yanagi and other models wearing their masks during the show prep (p.s. WEAR YOUR MASK).

TEMET: If Skims Met Skins

November 04, 2024

I often wonder where the first “afters” happened — whether it was right here in New York or somewhere else. The afters: that hazy, half-lit party that stretches into the morning, more intimate than dancing skin-to-skin with someone you just met, where the crowd thins to only those willing to let the night bleed into morning. Here, you get to watch the sunrise together too.

But today, no matter where you go in the world, if you're at a rave or DIY party, there's probably an afters. If you've never been to one, or don’t care to be, you’ve probably scrolled through your feed and seen that one story: morning sun flooding a cluttered living room, hot people still dancing, bodies tangled on a worn couch — lost in the aftermath of a night that refuses to end.

This editorial for Chilean-based TEMET, a brand deeply woven into the underground music and nightlife scene, captures that noctural alchemy. Creative directed by New York’s own Kiernan Francis, the shoot draws inspiration from the afters’ electric liminality. Francis sought to celebrate the paradox of private and public life — where our truest selves might emerge within nightlife and fade into the versions of ourselves we show the world by daylight.

The cast was a mix of DJs, artists, and street-scouted creatives — some known to Francis from the scene, others discovered through social media. The styling leaned into shapewear as an experience, framed by a backdrop that evokes the afters: crowded couches, messy rooms, and the chaos of a night extending into morning. The result? A series that feels like SKIMS meeting Skins UK.
