PHOTO SHOOT DIRECTION


The Work: Grammar NYC — Editorial & Visual Direction

The Narrative
At KMM Creative Direction, we believe that every image is a manifesto. For Grammar NYC, the visual challenge was to place the brand’s "old-world white shirt elegance" within its contemporary home: the creative bedrock of Brooklyn. We didn't just produce a photoshoot; we curated an atmosphere that celebrated the brand as a cornerstone of the modern female designer’s wardrobe.

The Strategy: Orchestrating the Aesthetic
As the lead for Fashion Direction and Creative Production, we acted as the connective tissue between the designer’s vision and the final frame.

  • The Intersection of Eras: We directed a visual language that balanced timeless, architectural tailoring with a raw, modern Brooklyn edge. The goal was to ensure the product felt both historical in its quality and essential in its current context.

  • Collaborative Leadership: We led a multidisciplinary team—including photographers, models, and MUAs—to ensure a singular, elevated aesthetic across all platforms. Every detail, from the minimalist makeup to the structural posing, was a strategic choice to reinforce the brand's "Essential" status.

  • Integrated Content Capture: We approached production with a "platform-first" mindset, simultaneously directing editorial high-art for the website, high-conversion imagery for e-commerce, and high-engagement BTS content for social media.

The Result: A Singular Visual Language
By unifying the brand's visual output, we created a digital world that is as cohesive as it is compelling.

  • Atmospheric Authority: We successfully positioned Grammar as the definitive "Brooklyn Essential," appealing to a 2026 demographic that values both sophisticated craftsmanship and local, female-led innovation.

  • Multichannel Synergy: Our integrated production approach provided the brand with a library of assets that served as the backbone for a 6-month marketing strategy, ensuring a consistent and premium brand voice at every touchpoint.

  • Strategic Sophistication: The result was a suite of imagery that didn't just show the clothes, but told the story of the #GrammarWoman—sophisticated, intentional, and ahead of her time.
