“Who Are You” is August’s rendition of the 1957 Swedish Film, The 7th Seal, directed by Ingmar Bergman. August’s version, shot by Tommy Maidment, highlights handmade garments by the brand, created by Jackson Campbell. With frequent collaborator Katie Hyde, director of previous August projects, this film embodies a unique change of perspective towards the brand’s outlook.
Set in plague-ridden medieval Sweden. A knight, returning from the Crusades, challenges Death to a chess game to delay his fate, seeking meaning, faith, and answers in a world filled with silence, mortality, and religious despair. August’s take on this film aligns with similar brand values of reflection and seeking inspiration from within. Jackson Campbell (designer and co-director) and Katie Hyde (co-director) seek to revitalize the original film through motifs of Mexican heritage and Campbell’s personal family history, shaped by war.

I look back and find light. It was never borrowed.
An archive of becoming what I inherited.
An archive of becoming August.

A study in falling and rising.
Light, motion, memory.
A dancer in repetition, a story in fragments.
The blur, the stillness, the attempt.
Archive of a feeling — becoming August.

“What Remains” moves through the psychic residue of a place where history never fully settles. The 70s motel is less a setting than a living archive, a room swollen with the breath of those who passed through under pressure, displacement, desire, or survival. Its walls hold contradictions: families formed and fractured, undocumented lives paused in motion, bodies seeking shelter from systems that were never built for them. It is familiar in its discomfort, a temporary refuge that becomes its own kind of permanence.
In this surreal tableau, the veil acts as a distortion, softening truths while amplifying the ache beneath them. Her attire, drawn from Chicano cultural iconography, becomes a protective language, a reminder of communities forced into transience yet refusing erasure. Opposite her, the military silhouette stands as an emblem of institutional power, the quiet machinery that controls borders, narratives, and even the ability to express identity without consequence.
Their relationship exists in a charged limbo: affection tangled with history, autonomy blurred by expectation, innocence traded for survival. They are not just two figures, but two forces, culture resisting containment and authority insisting on it.
Through their uniforms and their silence, “What Remains” becomes a meditation on extraction, resilience, and the unseen negotiations that shape life in forgotten rooms. It is a story about what culture becomes when it is pressed to the margins, and what rises when thosemargins begin to speak back.

A continuation in Film, this capsule reflects my family’s story and our connection to the Vietnam War. My grandfather was drafted but discharged just before deployment, while photographs reveal relatives who lived a very different fate. Through storytelling, this work uncovers wounds long buried beneath the illusion of triumphs. It follows a difficult but necessary path, confronting the trauma carried through generations. August reimagines military-inspired attire from that era, reshaped for a contemporary lens.
We share this story with you through family photographs, light, and shadow, an invitation to consider how the past shapes your present, and how you hold the power to shape the future.
Sincerely,
August

I MYSELF AM THE SUN 6/6
August is a testament to reclaiming and exploring personal culture through the lens of hand-crafted clothing presented through film, art, photography, and physical media to bring a personal story that looks past just thread.
“Why be a sunflower and turn toward the sun? “I myself am the sun” is a quote by Senegalese filmmaker Ousmane Sembène, which challenges a demand for self-definition in art and identity. The question poised me to look further in for inspiration than I ever had. Why abandon a culture that beams of life when light has been as dim as it’s ever been, and why not shout a message of resistance when voices in our community have been suppressed? I protest daily through the clothes I wear, and refuse to lose my idea of identity and expression in a society that asks me to fit in.
I welcome you to look through photographs I’ve scanned of my family, and then to take a step back and look in at your own. Ask questions, tell stories, take photos, and give your flowers while you still can, and quickly you will learn that the sun is in all of us.
Sincerely, August
