The shoot
A lookbook for Farida &themoon, a brand that works in collaboration with others. The pieces are layered cloth held together by row after row of running stitch, made up into vests, jackets, quilts, pouches and cushions. One afternoon at Hacienda Bay on Egypt’s North Coast, two days after Saint Levant at Silversands.
The day
It ran just over two hours, and it moved through the property in setups rather than outfits, each with a different light:
- Inside, against white plaster and lit wall niches, so all the colour in the frame comes from the pieces.
- The terrace, where a slatted roof throws stripes of shade across the quilts and whoever is lying on them.
- The pool, in hard mid-afternoon sun, with the pouches pegged out on a line like washing.
- The garden and an outdoor stone shower to finish: cushions on the chairs, and a quilted jacket thrown over a shoulder.
Most setups were shot both ways a lookbook needs: the pieces worn, so you can see how they sit and move, and the pieces close up, near enough to read the stitching and the label sewn into each one.
