Exclusive: Vanessa Traina Snow, Jason Schwartzman, and More Shoot Araks …

In a world where success appears to be driven by how many likes your Instagram gets and which girls Snapchat which designers’ clothes, Araks Yeramyan is taking a different approach. “My lingerie is so natural and real and simple,” Yeramyan told Style.com. “I wanted to express it in a way without lights and hair and makeup. Not so ‘done-up,’ because for me, it feels most sexy to wear something on its own, something quiet, something simple.” 

The designer has completed her latest issue of Araks Lingerie Project, a photo book featuring her eponymous brand’s sumptuous, minimalist lingerie shot by several close friends and creative collaborators, including Jason Schwartzman, Maryam Nassirzadeh, Kate Foley, Leandra Medine, Sofía Sanchez de Betak, and Vanessa Traina Snow. The premise was simple: Each contributor was given a disposable camera and asked to fill the entire roll with photos of one set of lingerie or sleepwear. “It was so great, working with a disposable camera,” Traina Snow told us. “Not having the instant gratification of seeing your image right away, kind of forgetting what pictures you even took. Just having fun.” The disposable cameras captured a realness and intimacy that rarely translates across social media, giving the images a dreamy permanence. 

Here, Style.com has an exclusive first look at the latest issue of Araks Lingerie Project. So go ahead, click through, and consider picking up a Kodak or Fujifilm on your way home tonight.
