In images shot by cult photographer, Elaine Constantine, British high street brand Warehouse channels its original innovative spirit for its latest AW16 campaign.

Known for her fresh take on British youth culture – both through photography and film (having also directed the eponymous tribute to the 60s music and dance movement Northern Soul) – Constantine, here, turns her lens to the new Warehouse woman.

The campaign marks Warehouse’s first since Alasdair Willis took over as brand consultant. Speaking on its new direction, Willis says, “the idea behind the campaign was to reflect the new Warehouse brand position and attitude of our woman within her urban environment.”

Embodying this woman is Dutch model Vera Van Erp, who joins an impressive history of representatives for the brand with the same “strength and directness,” including supermodel Naomi Campbell. Van Erp stars in these images, which are inspired the paintings of Italian master Caravaggio (in the way the Warehouse woman “is glimpsed between shadows and caught in strong shafts of light”) and Christopher Nolan’s Inception.
