The World We Knew

Eight A1 posters drawn from Bella Newman's photographs for Commission's Spring/Summer 2026 campaign, issued in an edition of 400 by the New York label with the London publisher Folio.

The campaign was shot across New York City. Its cast mixes streetcast faces with the stylist Miyako Bellizzi, Tenko Nakajima, Miwa Susua, Joi Li, Bella Newman, Leon Xu and Kelsey Absille. Each sheet folds down to 210 × 297 mm. The title is set in English, Korean, Japanese and Chinese, and film-rating marks and licence-plate motifs run through the graphics. Styling is by Bellizzi, creative direction by Jamie Reid and Jodie Hill, graphic design by JR Studio and Asel Tambay. The set was printed in London and comes in a clear jacket with a Commission glossy licence plate sticker, held shut by a coloured obi strip assigned at random.

Newman is a photographer and filmmaker from the Appalachian region of Pennsylvania who lives in New York. Her work has run in The Face, Purple, Interview, Dust and Self Service, alongside campaigns for Vivienne Westwood and Commission and music videos for Addison Rae. Her own series Tick Check dates from 2024. Bellizzi is an American costume designer who was nominated for an Academy Award for her work on Marty Supreme.
