DESIGN STATEMENT
'The Art of Play' depicts a fashion and lifestyle story alluding to a sense of nostalgia through the playful moments, memories and past times which occupied my mind growing up. The editorial incorporates an array of current runway and lifestyle trends, including
contrasting femininity, exaggerated silhouettes, and a clash in colour, texture and pattern. This translated into a reflection of my fondest memories, creates a striking contrast and invites the viewers' imaginations to ignite.
‘The Art of Play’ unlocks fond and forgotten memories within all, whether it be swinging on the monkey bars or making endless pinky promises, the simplicity of childhood is a concept that is blissful.
