"When I got the call from Bal Harbour Magazine asking if I'd shoot a spring fashion
feature for them, my biggest concern wasn't navigating the new world of shooting
during a pandemic, but rather who I'd photograph," says Stewart Shining. "After a
recommendation from my friend and mentor Bruce Weber, I reconnected with Rachel
Roberts—one of my favorite models that moved to LA and went on to acting—and this
shoot became our long overdue reunion." Shining, who recently relocated to Los Angeles
from New York, is a trustee of the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation. His portraits and
fashion photographs have appeared on scores of covers, from
Rolling Stone to Vogue,
and have been published in numerous books.
Tess Herbert is a stylist and costume designer who resides in LA and New
York. She spent three years working at American
Vogue and has contributed
work to institutions such as MoMA, the Brooklyn Museum and Tate Modern.
"The styling inspiration for this shoot was a play on classic masculine
silhouettes—which was a strong theme throughout S/S21 presentations. It was
my first time working with Stewart and Rachel, which was thrilling as I was a
big fan of the movie
Simone growing up."
