The Heat

16Arlington’s SS25 campaign is sensual, sexy and spirited

First debuted at 16Arlington’s SS25 show inside The Royal Academy of Arts, this season’s collection The Heat, saw a lightness return to Marco Capaldo’s design language through shimmers, sparkles and sequins. Now, the collection is brought to life in the accompanying campaign starring British model Jean Campbell, styled by Harry Lambert and shot by Sean+Seng.

Capaldo’s sensual designs take centre stage as sheer embellished dresses languidly drape across the body, suede shirts are constructed to appear unbuttoned and paired with micro-beaded hotpants, and feathers sprout from hemlines and stilettos. A series of large-scale floral sculptures by British artist Jesse Pollock – specially commissioned for the brand’s runway show – backdrop the shoot, glistening in textured silver. Speaking on the campaign, Capaldo said he wanted to return to “the fun, sexy spirit that 16Arlington has been known for,” and the designer certainly delivered.
