Photographer Nichelle Dailey and artist Sissòn — with the help of general fashion director Keyla Marquez — spent a day exploring the high-fashion hangout that is the LA strip mall. They bounced from one place to another, from one suitable place to another. As the light changes from light to dark, so does the mood.
