Lucie Rox and stylist Kyanisha Morgan have embarked on a creative project that emphasizes intimacy and spontaneity, resulting in a new photo zine. Their ten-year friendship has allowed for genuine collaboration, transforming Rox's Paris apartment into a vibrant studio filled with personal and eclectic fashion pieces. By mixing established and emerging designers and incorporating sculptural wigs and surreal makeup, they foster a playful environment reminiscent of their early creative days. This initiative seeks to strip away the commercial restraints often present in the industry, focusing instead on authentic artistic exploration.
Our friendship has been a huge part of this collaboration, it allows for honest conversations - after ten years, we know each other so well on a personal level that we already had that level of intimacy for a project like this.
When we first talked about the zine, we didn't want to be too restrictive in what we could do. We wanted to reconnect with a more intimate way of creating, something different to the more commercial or very produced shoots we've got used to through the years.
We wanted to find a place of experimentation and playfulness for the entire team, like when we all started and we would be like, 'Let's just take some pictures this weekend,' with no real plans.
We had fun mixing pieces from our own wardrobes, like teenagers getting ready at a friend's house before a night out - except this time, it was on two models, with Lucie's living room as the studio and Yumi's wigs everywhere.
