For CNC’s Drop 2 Campaign Lookbook, we went back to basics, embracing a minimalistic approach that highlights the essentials of everyday wear. This collection was all about timeless staples, designed with a clean, versatile aesthetic that resonates with CNC’s commitment to quality and understated style. With a focus on blacks, greys, and essential pieces, Drop 2 offers a refined, pared-back look that’s perfect for any wardrobe.
The Studio Setup: White Cyclorama for a Clean Slate
To capture the essence of Drop 2, we shot the collection in a white cyclorama studio, creating a fresh and uncluttered canvas that allowed the garments to take center stage. The clean, seamless background provided a perfect contrast to the monochromatic tones of the collection, making the subtle details of each piece—texture, fit, and fabric quality—stand out. This setting allowed us to keep the focus solely on the essentials, showcasing each item as an everyday staple without distraction.
The Collection: Essentials for Everyday Wear
Drop 2 is CNC’s take on the essentials. With black and grey as the core palette, this collection offers pieces that are effortlessly wearable yet crafted with premium details. From classic hoodies and crewnecks to versatile tees, each item is designed to be a go-to in anyone’s rotation. The minimalist aesthetic reflects CNC’s commitment to crafting high-quality essentials that don’t need embellishment to make an impact. These are pieces that seamlessly fit into any lifestyle, with a design ethos that values form, function, and durability.
The Models: Ella and JM
For this campaign, we kept the styling simple, letting models Ella and JM bring the collection to life. Ella’s effortless, natural vibe and JM’s grounded, understated style perfectly complemented the aesthetic of Drop 2. Their dynamic, natural chemistry in front of the camera helped us capture the everyday versatility of the pieces, showing how CNC essentials can be worn and styled with ease. Ella and JM represented the CNC community well, embodying the kind of relaxed, confident look that the collection was made for.
Keeping It Simple: Minimalism Meets Functionality
The simplicity of this shoot wasn’t just in the setting; it was in the styling as well. Each look was crafted to reflect real-life wear, focusing on the inherent quality and design of the garments rather than over-the-top styling. The clean lines and minimalist styling emphasized the essentials, showcasing CNC’s attention to quality fabrics, comfortable fits, and timeless designs. In this collection, the details speak for themselves—from the smooth stitching to the carefully considered fit of each piece, Drop 2 was designed to be effortlessly functional and versatile.
