AOK


an experimental lookbook

exploration editorial



With nowhere to go, but many outfits to be worn, I created this lookbook to pass the time and make use of clothes that otherwise would sit idle in my closet during the height of the pandemic.

Inspired by the dress-up games that were a staple of my childhood, I started by archiving my entire closet—from tops to shoes, everything I owned was organized into seven categories. Next, I sent out this archive to a group of friends. They were going to play dress-up but with my closet! They styled 1-2 outfits for me and named their creation(s). I then had a photoshoot, where I carefully followed each submission. 

The final design of the lookbook was inspired by retro clothing catalogues we used to get in the mail. I listed items worn and highlighted small details.
