Ivory hours

Silk under wool in an empty Bed-Stuy studio at noon, the one hour the light there goes flat.

Look 02 Editorial

For: Fold
Photography: Jonah Adeyemi
Styling: Priya Nandakumar
Season: Fall 2026
City: New York

Fold asked for something with no set at all, so we used the studio down the street from my apartment: a white room, a wooden floor, one window. Everything was shot between eleven and one, when the light comes in flat and the shadows disappear.

The jacket is a size up on purpose. The freckle under my eye stays in every frame.

S02 ivory hours 02 — Silk under wool, the way the stylist wanted it.

S02 ivory hours 03 — No retouching. The freckle stays.

S02 ivory hours 04 — The floor was warm by then.

S02 ivory hours 05 — Crossing the room for the twentieth time.

S02 ivory hours 06 — The jacket is one size up, on purpose.

S02 ivory hours 07 — Eyes shut, waiting for the cloud to pass.

S02 ivory hours 08 — The room, empty except for the window and me.

S02 ivory hours 09 — The wide frame the editor ran across the gutter.

S02 ivory hours 10 — What was left on the chair at the end.
