Viator Felis


VIATOR FELIS is a New York-based fashion project founded by designer Shawn Lin, whose debut collection draws from his experience under Naoki Takizawa at Issey Miyake. The brand explores quiet rebellion through design that balances masculine and feminine elements, influenced by vintage photography and motorcycle street culture.

Shawn needed portraits for the brand's online presence, and we decided to take the opportunity to test some visual concepts for our future collaborations. Using natural outdoor light and a vintage lens, I focused on creating a visual language that feels both intentional and effortless, supporting the brand's confident, unpolished side without overpowering its more delicate features.
