A New Highstyle Shoot

The series shows a different register of Alexandra Potter's work on the site: black latex leggings paired with a fitted white corset shirt and a long military style coat with silver button detailing, welding goggles pushed up on her head as the one unexpected element that shifts the whole combination away from straightforward highstyle and into something with more personality. The black and white treatment suits the mood, removing colour as a variable and letting the contrast between the coat's structured tailoring and the latex beneath do the visual work.

The welding goggles are the detail that reveals the most about her. The elegance is always present, but the willingness to introduce something deadpan and industrial into an otherwise composed look suggests someone who does not take the styling entirely seriously in the best possible sense.

Ballet heels complete the series with the physical discipline that has become a consistent element of her work here.
