Gabriela

Our latest addition to the KLLKT family, 20 year old photographer Aleksandra Banet

hails from the Polish city of Wrocław. Her stunning shoot ‘Gabriela’ seemed the perfect means for us to introduce you to her work, which you will be seeing more of over the coming months.

Not content with shooting and styling the series, Banet even created the dress worn by model Gabriela Relikowska having salvaged a size 16 dress from a thrift store. The shoot is all the more engaging through its natural feel; no artificial light, no make-up artist, no forced poses. Banet sees this as a perfect manner to capture Relikowska who she describes as “fresh and untouched by the fashion world”. Considering that Relikowska has since moved to Paris to pursue a career as a model, Banet’s intimate shoot exists as a timeless record of her ‘age of innocence’.
