DESIGN STATEMENT:
Reboot is a fashion editorial that pays homage to Talaina’s colourful aesthetic and a love for humorous things. Inspired by sitcoms and focusing on breakfast, the editorial offers a playful narrative of colour and pattern.
Reboot features a bold and fun colour palette, with eggsciting textural elements weaved throughout. Filled with eggs on toast, slowly waking up, the rush of getting ready, and everything in between a good morning. Reboot aims to make the viewer laugh and indulge in this eggscellent fashion editorial. This has been achieved through photography, videography, and illustrations.
