The inspiration behind the fashion shoot includes 1970s sportswear, the colors used by artist Henri Matisse and the style of actor Steve McQueen. Saglio describes the portfolio as “a mix of classic meeting a cool street world.” The team arrived at Hippodrome des Arcades, just outside of Paris.

Van Drimmlen was eager to discover the aging elements of the shuttered racetrack, telling WSJ Magazine: “Those kinds of things I love as a photographer—just discovering these things that magically are so beautiful instead of trying to re-create that yourself. It’s just trying to have an eye for the things that are already there.”
