I HATE WINTER
DEC. 2025
I Hate Winter is a story shot in Côte d’Ivoire, reimagining cold-weather fashion in a place where winter doesn’t exist. The editorial uses heat, sand, and sweat to explore cultural contrast and irony. It’s a reflection on a diasporic experience — the yearly escape from Western winters to head home for the holidays, where you appreciate a little bit more the sweating of your body and the burn of the sun.
