Design Statement:
‘Adagio’, an editorial, delves into ballet’s ethereal realm, spotlighting the grit behind each pirouette and arabesque. Drawing from my dance experience, I infused ‘ballet neutrals’ into the styling, blending traditional fabrics with everyday wear for a fashion-forward twist. Moody lighting mirrors the intense studio hours, while video captures the dancer’s meticulous preparation and dedication in class. Casting real dancers ensures authenticity. Textured and rustic illustrations pay homage to dance journals, adding a personal touch. ‘ Adagio’ is a fusion of discipline and artistry, a testament to the unyielding spirit of ballet, distilled into every frame.
