The shoot starred Gregersen wearing unbuttoned white blouses, wife beaters, high-waisted jean shorts, feathered coats and unbuttoned denim jeans.

Stylist Gertrud Maria Bonnelykke kept the garments in a neutral color palette ranging between blue, black and white hues. Makeup artist Anne Staunsager left Gregersen's skin looking natural and fresh with minimal makeup and a simple dark brown smokey eye.
