Transform this photo: ${reference-photo} into a refined, minimalist contemporary fashion illustration inspired by the feeling of a quiet New York Sunday morning, presented on a large, clean white background.

IDENTITY PRESERVATION
Identity preservation is the highest priority. Keep every person immediately recognizable as the exact same individual from the reference photo. Preserve their facial structure, face shape, eyes, nose, lips, eyebrows, hairline, hairstyle, age, body proportions, pose, interaction, and distinctive features.

Do not beautify, idealize, redesign, or reinterpret the faces. Do not change the original expression or emotional connection between the people. The painted treatment may gently soften texture, but facial geometry and identity must remain unchanged. Keep the faces noticeably more precise and recognizable than the surrounding painterly elements.

COMPOSITION
Place the people within a small, intimate fashion scene positioned strictly in the center of the canvas, surrounded by a very generous amount of completely clean white negative space.

The painted area should occupy only a restrained central portion of the image, like a small editorial illustration printed on an oversized page of a luxury fashion book.

Do not fill the entire frame. Do not extend scenery toward the borders. All painted elements should gradually dissolve into unfinished dry-brush edges well before reaching the sides of the image.

The outer area must remain pure, calm, untouched white. The result should feel airy, expensive, and intentionally minimal.

NEW YORK SUNDAY MOOD
Create the feeling of an effortless Sunday in New York rather than a literal postcard of New York. Evoke late morning, quiet downtown energy, coffee after a slow breakfast, slightly undone hair, beautiful clothes worn without trying too hard, understated confidence, and an almost cinematic sense of intimacy.

Keep the New York reference subtle and atmospheric. Suggest only fragments of the environment: a pale sidewalk beneath the subjects, a minimal stone step, a soft shadow, or perhaps the suggestion of an understated doorway or architectural line fading into the paper.

Do not include recognizable landmarks, a skyline, Times Square, yellow taxis, the Brooklyn Bridge, an obvious city panorama, or a busy street scene. The people and their clothing are the focus.

WARDROBE — KHAITE × THE ROW
Restyle the people in a sophisticated Khaite × The Row-inspired contemporary wardrobe, combining relaxed New York sensuality with exceptionally restrained quiet luxury.

The key fashion language is denim, beautiful knitwear, leather, and slightly oversized tailoring. Use exceptional-looking materials and effortless proportions.

Introduce beautifully cut straight or relaxed denim in authentic washed indigo, faded blue, or sophisticated dark denim. Pair it with tactile luxury knitwear: substantial cashmere, brushed wool, fine merino, ribbed knits, or an oversized, beautifully constructed sweater.

Add selective elements of supple leather—a refined leather jacket, understated leather coat, minimal belt, beautifully structured bag, or sophisticated leather shoes. Incorporate slightly oversized tailoring through relaxed wool coats, generous blazers, long masculine outerwear, or softly structured jackets with impeccable shoulders and natural drape.

The silhouettes should feel contemporary, intelligent, and effortless rather than overly styled. Clothing should look genuinely luxurious because of its cut, proportion, texture, and material, never because of visible branding.

No logos, excessive jewelry, obvious trend pieces, or overly formal styling.

COLOR PALETTE
Keep the overall composition sophisticated and neutral, allowing denim blue to become the subtle signature color. Build the palette around washed indigo, faded denim blue, deep midnight blue, ivory, winter white, oatmeal, soft grey, charcoal, espresso brown, black leather, mushroom, stone, and muted taupe.

Skin tones should remain natural and gently warm. Avoid bright or saturated colors, and avoid strong orange, yellow, or red. The palette should feel distinctly New York: cool, neutral, understated, and expensive.

PAINTERLY STYLE
Render the scene as a sophisticated contemporary gouache, watercolor, and dry-brush fashion painting rather than photorealism. Use delicate handmade texture, translucent washes, visible dry-brush strokes, subtle paper grain, and beautifully unfinished edges.

Let denim have soft washed pigment variation, knitwear feel tactile and almost touchable, leather have restrained depth and subtle sheen, and tailoring retain elegant architectural structure. Keep the environment looser and more abstract than the people.

The faces should remain the most precise and recognizable elements of the artwork, while clothing can have sophisticated painterly texture and the surroundings can dissolve almost completely into the white paper. Allow only a few delicate brush marks or fragments of shadow to escape beyond the central painted scene.

LIGHT
Use beautiful soft Sunday daylight: diffused, natural, and slightly cool, with a gentle creamy warmth on the skin. Do not use dramatic sunlight, harsh shadows, or glossy commercial lighting. The light should feel effortless and cinematic, as though captured during an unplanned quiet moment.

FINAL FEELING
The finished artwork should feel like a tiny New York fashion memory floating in the middle of an oversized white page: modern, intimate, effortless, and collectible.

Think Khaite sensuality × The Row restraint: perfect denim, exceptional knitwear, supple leather, oversized tailoring, natural hair, quiet confidence, and Sunday-morning New York energy. It should feel expensive without looking styled, fashionable without looking trendy, and romantic without becoming sentimental.

Avoid facial changes, generic AI faces, beautification, altered expressions, changed identities, photorealism, a full-page background, scenery reaching the borders, a crowded city, landmarks, a skyline, Times Square, yellow taxis, excessive architecture, logos, text, bright colors, excessive accessories, glamorous evening styling, a rustic aesthetic, collage, or a hard frame.
