INTO THE RENAISSANCE
YEAR: 2024
ROLES: WARDROBE STYLIST + SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENT + MOVEMENT DIRECTION + POST PRODUCTION
Overview
“Into the Renaissance” is a fashion editorial inspired by the romance, drama, and ornate beauty associated with the Renaissance era, interpreted through a theatrical fashion setting. The concept brings together rich textures, dramatic silhouettes, florals, lace, and regal detailing to create a cast of characters that feel as though they belong to the same romantic world. Each look carries its own identity while recurring red, black, white, gold, and rose details connect the story throughout.
DIrection
For the wardrobe direction, I focused heavily on customizing each look specifically for the project rather than relying solely on finished garments. Roses became a recurring detail throughout the styling, and I individually hand pinned each flower onto the garments and accessories one by one, creating custom placements that transformed the original pieces and connected the looks across the shoot.
I layered lace, corseted silhouettes, gloves, pearls, gold detailing, dramatic collars, and floral embellishments to reference the romance and grandeur of Renaissance dress while keeping the styling rooted in fashion editorial. From the adding roses across the menswear look to the floral gloves and sculptural red silhouette, every detail was intentionally placed to give each character a distinct presence. The result was wardrobe that felt specially constructed for the world of “Into the Renaissance,” with customization becoming an essential part of the storytelling.
