You have surely heard the term and practiced the act in the context of textiles. Something as simple as throwing a jacket over a tee or adding tights under your snowpants are good examples of how integral layering is in our day to day dress.

At the intersection of snowfall and crashing waves–we converge atop waves frozen in time to document the PSS21 collection offered by John Elliott. Textures of terry and heavy knits, color stories of mint and moon grey; seasonal transitions wash ashore.

Inspired by the seamless fusion of nature with fashion that John Elliott achieved with their FW20 collection, we aimed to create a series of images that depict the main goal of every piece of fashion–to become apart of the elements it is stitched for.
