'The New Era' editorial for style publication The Ones 2 Watch consists of juxtaposed fashion portraits that spotlight both high end couture and casual loungewear. Captured by photographer Lena Shkoda, the image series stars model Nasri Ashkir and is styled by Alex Penago who opts for a mix of conceptual garments and understated lingerie.
Pairing pieces from Issey Miyake Pleats Please, Comme des Garcons, Dries Van Noten and more with casual essentials from Calvin Klein Underwear, Penago creates a style story that follows a model's exciting life in front of the camera along with her more quiet life at home.
