New York · Every Season

Skin changes with nature. Your ritual can move with it.

Summersby is a seasonal skincare concept inspired by the changing light, rhythms, and rituals of New York.

Six recurring themes

The references collected for this campaign keep returning to the same six moods. Each one is shot in the Summersby palette rather than borrowed, so the board and the campaign are the same world.

Theme 01

Cozy mornings

Rain on the glass, a candle lit at nine, a coffee going soft. The season arrives indoors before it arrives outside.

Theme 02

The harvest street

Stoops dressed for October, leaves banked against the kerb. The city doing autumn in public.

Theme 03

Lamplight hours

The evening half of the ritual. One lamp, one candle, the bottle glowing from the inside.

Shelf styling

Hard morning sun on a ceramic tray. The bottle as something you leave out, not something you hide away.

The photo dump

Boots in the leaves, a coffee on a park chair. Framed like something saved off a camera roll, not a set.

Theme 06

Getting ready

Two friends, one mirror, a conversation that outlasts the skincare. The ensemble-television warmth the campaign borrows from.

The Brand Idea

One recognizable world, always in motion.

The product, typography and voice remain consistent. Color, light, texture and storytelling evolve with the season.
