I’ve been noticing an increased fascination with geometry in both fashion design and fashion editorials recently. From V Magazine’s Naomi Campbell’s ‘The Empire Strikes Back’ editorial and Dazed & Confused’s building blocks to Balenciaga’s dramatic cuts.
The latest is an editorial called ‘Geometry’ in Flaunt magazine, by photographer Joshua Jordan with model Blaine Cook.
In the editorial, Cook models new pieces from the likes of Calvin Klein, Guess, Diesel and Converse in a set of cubes, pyramids and other geometric shapes. The set was designed by Eric Penderleith.
