Inflate Fashion Shoot: Behind-the-Scenes

Styled by Dazed Senior Menswear Editor Robbie Spencer, the brief for the new Inflate shoot for Dazed & Confused was inspired by Comme des Garcons A/W10 collection: the team cushioned up models and deconstructed silhouettes in true Comme spirit. Pivotal to the proceedings were set designer Gary Card, who is here exclusively showcasing his sketches from the shoot. He said of the event, "I pitied the poor models who had to go through the horrible ordeal that was our shoot, listening to them struggling to breath was particularly difficult. It didn't stop us though, we carried on torturing them till 3 in the morning!"
