I’ve always been fascinated by the
mythological stories of vampires and
immortal beings and how over time these
stories have transformed from horriMic stories
into tales of romance and beauty.
Vampire narratives date all the way back to
1431 to Dracula who was the Mirst vampire
and even further we Mind evidence of stories of
immortal beings.
People have always been fascinated by the
concept of immortality – the idea of staying
young and beautiful “forever” or as long as
possible is appealing to most people and this
is unequivocally reMlected in society today.
Pop culture references of Vampires – Twilight,
Interview with the Vampire and TV Shows like
Vampire Diaries – portray vampires in a way
that is most appealing. The characters are
alluring and youthful, bound by the common
thread of immortality.
This entire collection was inspired by dark
mystical beings and I wanted to bring that
darkness into my collection characterized by
the dark backdrop, with the models pale and
ethereal offset by the overall black & white
theme.
