We met Kshitij on Instagram last year some time. I say some time because I don't remember when it started (like so many IG romances) but we loved his work immediately and it was clear to us the creative direction of the SOAK team was something special. I know people in fashion are prone to fake gushing but we really were so over the moon when they agreed to work on a shoot for us.

We haven't ever given the reins over to anyone before on a shoot - we have always planned them, been on set, and been there to select final shots. For this photo essay we gave it all up to the SOAK team and the result is this beautiful shoot titled 'Road to Dun' shot in Dehradun, India.
