For the In Conversation editorial at Deer Mountain Inn, Jalil Johnson brought his distinctive perspective on fashion, style, and culture to the serene Catskills setting. Collaborating closely with the creative director, I styled Jalil in a curated mix of 3.1 Phillip Lim, The Row, and Tibi, focusing on sharp tailoring and clean silhouettes that grounded each look in effortless sophistication. Prada, Calvin Klein by Raf Simons, and Simone Rocha introduced an abstract, voluminous, and artful approach, adding movement and depth to the narrative. Accessories played a key role in defining Jalil’s playful yet polished aesthetic—Marni, vintage Chanel, and Loewe, alongside upcycled scarves by Chris J Easter, added a refined yet quirky touch, seamlessly blending modern elegance with unexpected character. The editorial celebrated Jalil’s influence in fashion while embodying Dora Maar’s ethos of individuality and thoughtful curation.
