You might have already seen these campaigns in our February issue, a 132-page book dedicated to what we think constitute modern love. While they’re categorised as Spring/Summer ’20 ones but might feature heavier pieces like coats and boots, that doesn’t mean you should be turning your eyes on the images shot by the world’s most talented photographers. Here, a round-up of the best ones to encourage you to dress a little spiffier, try on something out-of-the-box, or live a little larger. That our friend, is true fashion freedom.
