This editorial shoot with model Andi Zeyi, styled by Andru Wallace, was an exploration of form and fantasy. Long, gravity-defying braids became sculptural extensions of the body—swaying, swirling, and amplifying every movement with hypnotic rhythm.
We styled Zeyi in a range of looks that played with transparency, contrast, and color. From a striped blazer with sheer elements to a textured feather mini dress and a sky-blue fringe ensemble, each piece interacted dynamically with her braids, casting kinetic shadows and sweeping across the frame like brushstrokes. Rich tones, glittering skin, and dramatic lighting tied it all together with warmth and contrast.
The shoot was all about motion—braids as lines, threads, tentacles, fringe—abstract and alive. Every image carries the tension between fluidity and structure, power and elegance. Andi’s energy brought each concept to life with fierce clarity.
