Oliviero Toscani, a creative director and photographer who's globally recognized, joined with Nicopanda, a playful high-end fashion brand, to create a visual dialogue for some of the looks from its 2016 Fall/Winter line.
The resulting images are simplistic in a way that stands out, with bold sans serif typography carrying the Nicopanda name on every print and a stark white backdrop allowing the subjects and their colorful clothing to pop out. While two models wear matching fur ball hats in contrasting tones, another shows a pair of men sharing a singular sweater.
Cute cartoon images complement the bright fabric on this piece, speaking to the Nicopanda's youthful vibe. With Oliviero Toscani behind the camera, each portrait is made to look like a work of art -- inviting viewers to remember the Nicopanda pieces.
