"When I Was Older" is a menswear fashion story starring George Hard (BOSS Models) photographed on a half misty, and half sunny day at a beach in Cape Town, South Africa.

"When I was older

I was a sailor on an open sea

But now I'm underwater

And my skin is paler than it should ever be"

(Lyrics by Billie Eilish)

"When I Was Older" is a fashion series created in South Africa with model George Hard (BOSS Models Cape Town), stylist Rita Amthor and hair & make-up artist Norbert Cheminel. In a world of polarities, it shows that there are in-betweens. Although categorising helps us to understand the world, especially when we grow up, thinking inside these boxes forever can captivate us and result in mental health issues. Paying attention to details and reflecting on the true nature of things, people, and situations can constitute a liberation of the mind and transform us to be more tolerant and compassionate.
