Could you share a moment during this project that was particularly impactful or transformative for you as an artist?
This was a true collaboration of talent within the team and our goal was to create images that show purity with creative artistry. So the best moment was when the story actually came to life that we all envisioned. The focal point was the elaborative yet simple fashion and I loved the impact the hair had. The pastel bob in particular was super impactful and I loved the result of this look in particular.
How do you foresee the looks created in this collection influencing upcoming trends in fashion and hairstyling?
Trends are always constantly evolving and I believe to be a trendsetter you have to stay true to your own vision and signature style. The simplicity and sophistication of this story influences the trend to embrace the beauty of individuality. We see white fashion and make up as a futuristic trend and this accentuates the distinctive pastel hair tones and in particular the bubblegum pink that dominates the story.
