The pillbox hat stays on in every frame. It's the anchor of this seven-image session by Olga Aleshina of Miami, and it gives the whole sequence a thread of old-Hollywood formality that plays against the industrial backdrop. Cadence van Hoften — an Orange County native on the books at The Industry Management — wears it perched high on her head while crouching on concrete, leaning into corrugated metal and staring down Aleshina's lens from close enough to count the freckles across her face. Styling is by Anna Zgurovskaya, with hair and makeup by Alina Bondarevska.
The wardrobe stays in a narrow lane: black and grey, tailored and textured. A grey check pleated skirt recurs across multiple setups, paired first with a fringed black vest, then with a fuzzy cap-sleeve top, then with an oversized blazer that swallows van Hoften to mid-thigh. Strapped, black heels are worn throughout. Aleshina moves between color and black-and-white, weaving tight beauty close-ups between wider compositions.
