You know when someone walks into a room and, within five minutes, everyone is already laughing? That was Ryan Alexander Holmes when he stopped by our Sunset Boulevard studio with his team. Ryan is an actor, content creator, and proud AfroAsian American who uses humor and storytelling to celebrate his Chinese and African American roots. From funny family stories to conversations about identity, he knows how to make people laugh while sharing a meaningful message.

Naturally, we wanted our photoshoot to reflect that same energy. We played with oversized workwear, cool denim, vintage inspired looks, and a little sheer fabric for extra drama. Some looks felt effortlessly cool, while others were a little more unexpected, and we had so much fun bringing each one to life. We hope you love these photos as much as we do, because choosing a favorite has been harder than we expected! Personally, I’m obsessed with the jacket featuring those plaster-like shapes and the artistic, paint-inspired look. But now we want to hear from you: Which look is your favorite?
