At its heart, fashion is a tool of creativity and transformation—we slip into shapes and silhouettes, ever discovering new shades of self. So why is an industry that is so driven by “the new” seemingly incapable of reinventing itself when it comes to the health of people and the planet? This event will bring together two forces within the industry—photographer Camila Falquez and model, author, and organizer Cameron Russell—to share their reflections on creating authentic and meaningful change over the course of their careers.

Cameron Russell (she/her) is a model, writer, and organizer. Her work leverages creative collaboration and collective storytelling to aid evolution.

Camila Falquez (she/her) is a New York-based photographer of Colombian heritage. She was born in Mexico City and grew up in Spain. Falquez’s photographs harness the traditions of fashion and portrait photography and honor the contemporary spectrum of social and gender diversity. Channeling the conventions of surrealism and a strong color palette, Falquez elevates and empowers her subjects. Her images have been published in The New York Times, TIME Magazine, El País, WSJ, and Vogue, among others. She has collaborated with brands such as Clinique, Hermes and Nike. In 2022, Falquez had her first solo exhibition in New York at Hannah Traore Gallery called Gods That Walk Among Us. In 2023, Falquez was named the Fashion Photographer of the Year at the Latin American Fashion Awards. Her work was also acquired for the permanent collection of the Perez Art Museum in Miami, Florida.
