Inspiration: “TIME: I am fascinated by the constant that is time. It never stands still. By the point we regard a moment – an incident, feeling etc – it passes, no longer the present, now a memory. Time is constant – regardless of fame and fortune, we all age at the same rate – yet we each hold a unique perception of time. So I questioned, ‘what does time look like, if it was an image, what would it be?’ TRAVEL: Meaning to proceed or advance in any way, I was inspired by travel and its relationship with time. In order to travel forward we must understand the past. I looked to The Firefly from 1978 and imagined ‘if The Firefly timetravelled to the present, what would it look like in today’s world?’ TEXTURE: Each look was to have its own unique movement and texture. Movement, texture and travel – I was inspired by feathers, their flight, and aimed to create this with hair. Tapestry and Puckering aided as textural variations. TRIBE: Meaning ‘a social division of people defined in terms of common descent, territory and culture,’ Tribe is a word that strongly resonates with this stage of my life – its current projects, people, feelings and events. I gather endless inspiration from African tribes – the natural textures and textiles used in the creation of headpieces and accessories. MAKEUP: Flawless skin that appears almost immortal, not unlike time itself. Fierce contouring for a combination of strength and enhancement of individual features. Just enough shadowing to accentuate the eyes – careful not to distort their natural shape; their identity. A nude lip for an element of natural beauty. FASHION: Bare skin emphasizes a tribal theme – paired with a selection of key accessories to communicate the essence of woman. An otherwise black and silver-grey palette of elaborate, statement pieces defines the collection – reflective textures and embellishment that illuminate and reflect the heart of inspiration. PHOTOGRAPHIC EFFECT: We elected to capture select images with a subtle blur to translate the notion of time and movement, giving an otherworldly effect.”
