For the March 2026 Big Fashion Issue of Grazia UK, “The New Uniform” presents a considered take on modern dressing through a location-led editorial with model Lizelot Rippen. The feature brings together fashion and narrative, reflecting the shift in working life where structure and comfort now sit side by side.
Set across contrasting environments, the shoot captures a woman moving between public and private spaces with ease. It is a story grounded in reality, where tailored looks meet everyday living, and polished styling is balanced with a more relaxed, personal tone.
At the centre of the editorial is the idea of Lo-Fi Luxury. Traditional workwear is reworked with softer styling and a more fluid silhouette. Sharp tailoring remains, but it is worn with ease rather than rigidity.
In one frame, Lizelot stands against the London skyline, dressed in a monochrome tailored look that echoes the surrounding architecture. The clean lines of the outfit reflect the city’s corporate identity, with the Shard rising in the background as a familiar marker of the business district.
This mood shifts indoors, where the same sense of structure is placed into a more relaxed setting. A soft pink sofa, scattered objects and natural light introduce a lived-in feel. Lizelot reclines in a tailored suit, styled with an undone attitude that removes any formality from the look. The addition of a child in the scene adds another layer to the story, referencing the balance between career and home life.
The editorial moves between these two worlds without losing cohesion. Each look feels part of the same narrative, showing a wardrobe that adapts rather than separates work and personal life.

Southwark Penthouse offers a setting that supports both sides of the story. Positioned above the city with uninterrupted views of the London skyline, the location brings a strong architectural presence that works naturally with fashion.
The exterior terraces provide direct sightlines to the Shard and surrounding buildings, creating a sharp and recognisable backdrop. These outdoor spaces introduce scale and context, placing the subject firmly within the city.
Inside, the space shifts to a more neutral, open plan environment. Concrete walls and stone floors give the interior a stripped-back quality, allowing styling and set dressing to shape the mood. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring in consistent natural light, softening the industrial elements and adding warmth where needed.
With both south- and north-facing aspects, the property offers varied lighting conditions throughout the day. This flexibility supports a range of creative directions, from bright, open scenes to more controlled, directional setups.
The penthouse also benefits from practical access, with a lift opening directly into the space and a loading bay located just outside. These details make it well-suited for editorial shoots that require efficient movement of the crew and equipment without disrupting the day’s flow.
At SHOOTFACTORY, locations are selected for their ability to support a clear visual narrative, and Southwark Penthouse delivers on both scale and versatility. For “The New Uniform”, the space enabled the production to move seamlessly between two contrasting moods without relocating.
The combination of open terraces, strong architectural lines and adaptable interiors makes it a reliable choice for fashion editorials that require both impact and flexibility. It is a setting that can carry a concept from sharp, city-focused imagery through to softer, more personal scenes within a single footprint.
For brands and publications working on shoots that reflect modern life and changing routines, Southwark Penthouse provides a backdrop that feels current, practical and visually distinct.
