The Girl In The White Dress
Luxury silky satin, delicate netting and structural formed felt, one of our latest and most complicated creations to date. Believe it or not but this elegant futuristic Hunger Games inspired outfit took us just over a year to craft with many mindboggling trial and errors along the way!
This was a project not for the faint of heart.
Let The Games Begin |
Unlike last year we wanted to entre the new year with a fresh start and what better opportunity than to begin with a clean slate of neutral tones looking forward to the future as depicted in our new empowering editorial release with a hint of fierce dramatic high fashion.
With makeup and styling inspired by the Hunger Games we wanted to create a capturing vision of the Capital,
District 1, post revolution. Strong poses, falling rose petals and even a handmade cage mask to entwine the shrouded sense of peace, beauty and of course dominating power - a rose with many thorns.
Even down to the accessories of silver cuffs around the neck and wrists depicting a most alluring fashion statement of the district's shackled chains. When creating themed looks such as this I love to do my research to ensure every aspect has a deeper meaning hiding beneath the surface.
The Tribute |
In all this couture outfit was custom made to measure to fit our stunningly beautiful model Becki who until the day of the photo shoot hadn't even properly seen nor tried this dress on and yet amazingly to everyone's surprise it fitted like a tailored glove.
Every time I look at these images I get a proud burst of self achievement to think of all the sleepless nights and failed attempts it took to craft the structured top half while combining three very different types of fabrics that I'm sure any kind textile teacher would tell you just do not work well together. Within the face of stubbornness I never let a challenge defeat me and admittedly I would sooner be dragged away like a broken wreck being able to say I gave it everything than to allow any project get the better of me!
Designed to look simply effortless and yet by far behind the magic only my team and me will truly ever know the full exstent of delicate work which went into mastering this one of a kind creation.
