London-based fashion label self-portrait has unveiled “Portraits of a Woman in Motion,” the latest instalment of its ongoing creative collaboration with musician and actress JISOO. Directed through the lens of photographer Oliver Hadlee Pearch and filmed in Seoul, the four-part short film series explores the beauty of staying true to oneself in a world that never stops moving.
Across four episodes, JISOO is captured against a series of fast-paced and surreal backdrops, effortlessly maintaining her signature calm, confidence and individuality. While the surroundings shift, transform and accelerate around her, JISOO remains grounded and unmistakably herself.
The new series takes a different creative direction from the duo’s previous collaboration, “Portraits of a Screen Star,” released earlier this autumn. Whereas the first project saw JISOO embody four distinct characters, this latest chapter places her at the centre of ever-changing environments. Everyday settings are reimagined through flickering lights, shifting scenes and surreal visual effects, creating a striking contrast between the movement of the world and JISOO’s composed presence.
The first episode, titled “The Restaurant,” premieres today, featuring JISOO dressed in a multi-textured knit cardigan, a lilac viscose blouse with contrasting lace details, and a gold sequin midi skirt from self-portrait’s latest collection.
Speaking about the collaboration, Han Chong, Founder and Creative Director of self-portrait, shared that JISOO’s ability to remain authentic and composed regardless of her surroundings was the inspiration behind the project. He explained that the film celebrates modern women who move effortlessly between different roles, places and experiences, while remaining connected to their individuality.
Chong also highlighted the brand’s philosophy of creating clothing that complements the lives of modern women, rather than defining them. For him, JISOO embodies this spirit through her natural confidence and effortless presence.
JISOO echoed the sentiment, reflecting on the fast-paced nature of her own lifestyle, which often takes her between cities, stages and recording studios. She expressed how self-portrait’s designs allow her to feel comfortable and authentic in every setting, adding that the latest film collaboration captures the strength of remaining true to oneself amid constant change.
The next episode of “Portraits of a Woman in Motion” featuring JISOO is set to be released on 12 November.
The latest self-portrait collection is available through the brand’s official website, self-portrait stores worldwide and its international network of selected retailers.
