This month we got together with two of East London’s most in demand women for an exclusive shoot surrounding the female form. Combining simple, yet evocative artwork by Alexa Coe with paired back beauty in signature Glasshouse style and minimal photography by Thea Løvstad, an up and coming Norwegian photographer making a stand in the art world. Thea chooses to work only with brands that have a sustainable vision and ethical practices - an approach we wholeheartedly support.

For this piece, we took inspiration from Alexa’s disruptive work; shining a spotlight on the female body from a women’s perspective and rewriting the narrative of nudity. Using our model as a canvas, Alexa’s free-flowing lines compliment the natural curves of the body.

Glasshouse Creative Director Mia gave Jess’ mid length hair a tousled look and highlighted her features with just a touch of makeup for a natural-looking and dewy finish.
