Playtime

Fashion serves a function of protecting its wearer from the elements, but it is also, at heart, a form of self-expression. In our latest fashion editorial, photographer Charlotte Swinburn and stylist Szalay Miller let loose with a sense of play, capturing models Chandler Frye and Tom Hughes in a wealth of textures, patterns, and colors that brighten up a dreary winter. There is a feeling of exuberance and excitement to the story, whether the pair are seen play-fighting, on the chase, or in mid-air, offering a reminder to keep in touch with your inner child.
