Photographer Thomas Lizzi goes backstage at ALL-IN, spotted on all of fave pop stars from Charli XCX, Rihanna to Arca. This season for their fifth collection, they go all the way up to the 40th floor if the Tour Montparnasse during Paris Fashion Week. Founded by Benjamin Barron and Bror August Vestbø, the multidisciplinary design studio focuses on repurposing existing garments including a collaboration with GUESS U.S.A. where ALL–IN reinterprets pieces from the GUESS U.S.A. archive.

Styled by no other than the iconic Lotta Volkova, ALL–IN Collection Nº5 tells the story of a working woman from Staten Island impersonating an Upper East Sider and tracks her attempts and failures at working her way to the top, inspired in part by Mike Nichols’ Working Girl and other New York characters including Roberta from Desperately Seeking Susan and Carrie Bradshaw. Distressed denim, pearls, motorcycle jackets, silk blouses, and scarves are among the pieces in the collection that represent both the characters’ true and impersonated identities.
