Tough Grandma + Urban Jungle = An R29 Exclusive

R29 is beyond thrilled to get our hands on an exclusive editorial from Tom Hines. With a client roster that reads more like the contents of our dream closet — including Proenza Schouler, The Lake and Stars, Katie Gallagher, and Samantha Pleet — Hines' shots have the ability to capture incredibly beautiful moments that beg for an extra-long gaze.

We're crazy for Kathryn Typaldos' (who we also revere for her work in W and Nylon, to name a few) styling in the featured project, conceptualized as a mix of high/low, runway/thrift, and what they're calling "tough grandma." Featuring model Kate Kosushkina, we invite you to lust over the soft looks set against barren backgrounds in six snaps you'll see here first.
