Over two years, photographer Ramona Jingru Wang, in collaboration with stylist Momoè Sadamatsu, worked closely with a group of models and creatives, developing portraits and first-person writing through slow, conversational sessions and reimagining the traditional fashion “go-see.” A format historically tied to casting power, pass-or-fail judgment, and the male gaze, the “go-see” becomes intimate, process-driven, and grounded in care through Jingru Wang’s gaze, a moment in which to explore a range of ways of looking and being looked at.
The 100-plus-page spiral-bound book GO SEE*, released with Friend Editions on November 22nd, 2025, gathers portraits of different people—many from Asian diasporic communities—who participated in the project with first-person writing, the result of slow, conversational sessions. In a moment when the fashion system runs at an extremely fast pace, Jingru Wang and Sadamatsu created a space of interconnection and care, reciprocity and self-definition.
