"A WITCHES DRESS AND THOSE WHO ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO IT"
An innovative and whimsical photoshoot exhibiting two looks inspired by witchcraft and medieval dress. (2025)
This project was incredibly collaborative, requesting two photographers, a videographer, drivers, two models and an assistant to a location as well as systemizing all equipment necessary. Both garments are based on folkloric archetypes and were designed, knitted and styled by me.
