Central Park Autumn Look | Hayden
Fall street style shoot in Central Park with model Hayden Brax. Photographed by Peter Koloff, capturing autumn light, warm foliage, and natural movement for quiet cinematic visuals.
We walked through the park as the leaves were changing and let the day unfold. The textures, the colors, the movement. Nothing staged. Nothing overdone. Just the rhythm of fall and the way Hayden carried it.
Street style is always about the city, but fall in Central Park brings a softer backdrop. Hayden’s look worked with that. Layered, relaxed, and grounded in the feeling of the season. I wanted the images to feel like small moments you pass by in New York but notice anyway. The kind of moments that stay with you.
This street style shoot took place in November 2025 in Central Park during peak fall color. Featuring Hayden Brax, the session captures the shift in season through movement, texture, and the warm light that filters through autumn leaves. Photographed by Peter Koloff, this shoot blends natural color and motion into quiet, cinematic visuals.
Street style comes alive when the environment shifts the way someone carries themselves. Fall in Central Park has its own pulse. Leaves everywhere, warm color, soft light drifting through the branches. The park becomes part of the portrait, and every step creates a new moment worth catching.

Q: What makes shooting street style in Central Park during fall unique?
The park turns into a living color palette. Soft light moves through the trees, the air cools, and every path feels cinematic. Fall foliage adds depth that cannot be replicated in any other season.
Q: What stood out most in this shoot with Hayden Brax?
Her calm presence and the way she moved with the environment. Hayden understood the rhythm of the space. Her look blended with the season, which made each frame feel honest and easy.
Q: How do you define powerful street style photography?
When the subject, the setting, and the moment all connect. Street style becomes storytelling when it feels real. That is when an image holds emotion beyond the clothes.
If this is what happens on a simple walk through the park, imagine the scale of a full production. For collaborations, projects, or commissions contact me here.
When Style Meets Storytelling
Peter Koloff documents Lafayette 148 at New York Fashion Week in collaboration with stylist Samia Laaboudi of The SL Story a creative partnership that captures the brand’s essence and the spirit of New York City.
Fashion Week isn’t just about clothes it’s about who shapes them, who frames them, and who translates them into culture. This season, I had the privilege of collaborating with Samia Laaboudi, the stylist and visionary behind The SL Story, whose work has become synonymous with turning fashion into narrative. Samia doesn’t simply style garments she architects atmospheres. Her ability to balance refinement with edge transforms a look into a statement, and a collection into a story.
Together, we stepped into the world of Lafayette 148, a house that is New York to its core. As Creative Director Emily Smith shared, “Spring 2026 is a love letter to New York City and the Lafayette 148 women who inhabit it.” The brand marked its 30th year with a presentation that was as much performance art as fashion a celebration of the city’s grit and glamour in equal measure.
The set itself read like a scene from the streets: a Lafayette 148 newsstand, stacks of limited-edition newspapers, Russ & Daughters black & white cookies, pigeons overhead, and yes even a friendly rat weaving its way into the spectacle. It was witty, raw, and authentic, a reminder that New York is both beautiful and brutal, refined and chaotic.
My role was to capture and amplify that vision, bridging Samia’s styling and Lafayette 148’s design through the lens of storytelling. Working alongside her, the synergy was undeniable her eye for composition and detail elevating every frame into something cinematic. The result wasn’t mere documentation, but a collaboration that merged luxury aesthetics, cultural identity, and the theater of the city itself.
In a Fashion Week saturated with noise, this project cut through. It wasn’t hype it was heritage. It showed what happens when styling, photography, and brand vision converge at the highest level.
For me, this wasn’t just a shoot. It was a statement: New York isn’t a backdrop it’s the protagonist. And when you put Samia Laaboudi, Lafayette 148, and myself in the same frame, the city doesn’t just show up it takes a bow.
