Luna Conte (b. 1996) is a Paris-based artist who studied photography at ÉCAL in Switzerland. For interpretations, she stages a family portrait in a Parisian apartment, where unrelated models 'just be themselves' in extreme cashmere’s understated designs.

Leeroy Kim (b. 1984) is a Korean artist, curator, and creative director based in Seoul. In interpretations, he reimagines the traditional kanggangsullae, dressing dancers in cashmere garments as a sensual ode to overlooked cultural traditions.

Andreas Lumineau (b. 1992) is a Swiss-French artist living in Paris, whose practice reflects on architecture, interiors, and landscapes in diaristic snapshots. For interpretations, he photographed friends over a month in Paris, creating candid moments that quietly celebrate the everyday.

Chloé Royer (b. 1989) is a sculptor based between Paris and Athens, known for tactile works that merge contrasting materials into organic forms. For interpretations, she wrapped skeletal structures with extreme cashmere offcuts, transforming knit into a delicate skin of colour and texture.

Kwabena Sekyi Appiah-nti (b. 1994) is a Belgian-Ghanaian photographer based in Amsterdam whose work explores themes of boyhood and manhood. For interpretations, he extends his Golden Boy series with portraits of two young men in Amsterdam, styled in extreme cashmere against the urban landscape.
