Models: Mageot Twins- Allen & Stephen Mageot A surreal, coming-of-age universe where childhood imagination unlocks ancient divine spaces and the past (gold paper planes) and future (silver paper planes) come together. By fusing the structural blueprint of Virgil Abloh's paper plane runway concept with the pastel sunshine coded maximalism of Golf le Fleur, we create a dreamscape where paper airplanes and airplanes flying in the sky act as portals between childhood nostalgia and the ethereal realms of Greek mythology where imagination is the only thing needed for your dreams to take flight. Featuring Nuri Jung's creative direction and photography with handmade paper planes, intentional color integration, theme layering through fashion, and world building with a cinema still like world that blurs reality of the behind the scenes from the set itself.

Model: Jeremy Butler The foundation is built on the pillars of Quiet Luxury. We look to the architecture of the neighborhoods of Georgetown, red brick, ivy-covered stone, and wrought iron to set a stage of permanence and legacy. The garments are the classic and timeless style of old money ivy league prep but in combination with modern day street fashion. These pieces indicate the true meaning of timeless in how fashion is styled, effortlessly keeping tradition, soul, and heritage while blending in the old with the new, and continuing the classic look over generations in Gentleman's Sunday best. The true meaning of quiet luxury being a state of mind beyond just the price of garment and an act of creation of style, not consumption. All events detailed below we believe to be fated and created an unforgettable story and experience. Initially we went in with the general concept old money fashion and Ralph Lauren for reference but as I got inspiration, I built out the theme and we realized this photoshoot was truly something special and tied to black legacy, church, elegance, culture, permanence, and the idea that magic can be created out of anything and that budget doesn’t matter with true talent and determination for what you love doing. This is the photoshoot that really made me realize my artistic voice and why I do photography which is to tell a story through fashion and truly illuminate the model's presence and mix that into the photoshoot and create a cinema like world that feels real and that details are critical to creating something unforgettable and to go beyond just taken images of a model. Background: The photoshoot took place on a Sunday afternoon and the model actually went to church that morning. We met at foggy bottom and thought of Georgetown area as the general location but also considered Apple Carnegie Library as a potential alternative location but ended up deciding Georgetown also due to frugality and not wanting to pay for metro. The $35 outfit worn by the model was sourced from thrifting and free sunglasses which I styled the model with. Despite the original look being glasses and black sunglasses the model brought, I found both options to be too reflective and not providing enough contrast after doing test shots when we first started and upon learning from past photoshoots how reflective glasses makes it incredibly challenging to capture the model’s eyes and is very visually distracting. I styled the model with the sunglasses which I sourced for free which I won from a world cup event viewing sponsored by DC United. I brought the sunglasses for myself but realized what I had on me was the finishing touch to the model’s look. My style of photography sometimes relies on walking around for inspiration. We did a few shots around Georgetown for warmup until I came across the perfect spot and a vintage green Mercedes parked in the area caught my eye which I immediately recognized as perfect color compliment for the model’s outfit and I was ecstatic as a photographer and saw the vision. We started shooting and actually ended up meeting and getting permission from the owner, which we was a well-dressed Black Man and we met with his friend a well-dressed Black woman who brought our interest in taking photos with the car to his attention. Detailed next is the story of behind the scenes from the model's perspective as well as the images taken:

Models: Mageot Twins- Stephen & Allen Mageot | The 'Les Bleus' in the 2026 world cup serves as our stage, but the narrative transcends beyond this. We are looking at the deconstruction and reimagining of the French Tricolor, moving beyond static symbolism to embrace a fluid, kinetic identity of red, white, and blue. We capture the spirit of France with a walking canvas of the french flag. The flag moves with the vibrant spirit and energy of France in the streets, the stadiums, and at the heart of fashion, transformed into a gallery of avant-garde expression. This is a cultural redefinition and concept of France as a living runway.
