This experimental photoshoot was styled by me, with creative direction shaped in collaboration with the photographer.

Set between a dark outdoor space, it follows a woman existing on her own, where elegance meets a sense of distance. The contrast between her refined clothing and the surrounding environment creates a quiet tension.

Pieces I usually associate with playfulness take on a more controlled, almost cold presence. Seeing them shift into something more restrained and distant became one of the most exciting parts of the process.

The project moves between intimacy and detachment, softness and sharpness, allowing the styling to exist in a more unexpected emotional space.
