STYLED / REMEMBER

STYLED is an editorial series produced by the creative team of British high-end webstore OKI-NI in collaboration with a range of guest talent; from celebrated fashion editors, publications and stylists. It aims to serve a wearable presentation of looks pulled from the webstore’s pristine selection ranging from luxury to more avant-garde brands. For the final STYLED of Autumn/Winter 2014, the creative team reflected on the eye catching key pieces of this season. Key player in this creative collaboration is the talented London-based creative director Josh Hight, who was responsible for the photography and art work. Styling was done by OKI-NI’s own fashion editor Samuel Smith. The remarkable series concluding the still running season was named ‘REMEMBER’ and features characteristic showpieces including Valentino’s meticulously-crafted Eagle overcoat and the one of a kind Raf Simons / Sterling Ruby hand-bleached denim jacket, all framed against a industrial concrete and iron backdrop, tied together through collage and infused with written text and abstract images, making it one of our favorite editorial outings of this season; a perfect fit for the best pieces of Autumn/Winter 2014. 

The soft textures of cashmere, wool and matte-leather are juxtaposed with bold graphic elements and urban landscapes, presenting some of A/W14’s stand-out designs in a new context.

Josh Hight, who works under the moniker Hight & Irons, is a London-based creative director, photographer and musician. Josh mostly works in the field of fashion with other clients besides this incredible project for OKI-NI consisting of GQ Germany, Fantastic Man, Dash Magazine, The Forum, 10 Magazine and the most recent lookbook, for Autumn/Winter 2014, of the famous Regent Street department store Liberty was also created under the direction of Hight. In all of his work one can observe a very clean aesthetic, in which distinct colors are elegantly applied to frame the subject(s) and create immaculate images. The STYLED / REMEMBER editorial is one of the more raw creations of Hight, somewhat expanding his horizon, which makes us wonder what the future will hold for the very talented Londoner.
