adidas Originals + Song For The Mute 'SFTM-002'
New York based photographer Atsushi ‘Jima’ Nishijima – acclaimed for his candid photographs of actors on film sets – captures the “SFTM-002” collection in the city that he calls home.
Jima’s friends and relatives counterposed by street-cast individuals, newly acquainted strangers converse, individuals find solace amongst chaos - all harbour an ineffable aura of character, all intuitively echo the coexistence that defines city life.
Stylist Stephen Mann utilises garments lifted from the subjects’ own wardrobes, enhancing the wearers unique personas. An ancillary light-heartedness is introduced via an empty silver canteen chair, flower beds and a video of footwear being juggled.
A sense of optimism within the urban landscape’s sea of grey.
