Elise and Jesse

There are few things I love more than to photograph a hot fashionable couple together. Just like John and Courtney, Elise and Jesse mirror each others’ styles unnervingly well. I find this such a fascinating phenomenon, although I probably shouldn’t be shocked this happens so often since couples tend to develop similar tastes in food, music, and books as well. So why not fashion? Perhaps its the visual nature of this phenomenon that is so striking. I can literally see how these two people are affecting each other creatively and expressively.

Elise and Jesse remind me so much of the Rick Owens aesthetic with the torn shirts, drop crotch pants, and monochrome palette. Unsurprising considering Jesse is wearing Rick Owens sneakers, and both cited him as a primary influence in their personal style.
