This editorial was a labor of love by three women driven by fashion and art, and was the first of many projects together, learning and growing along the way. We were inspired by the life and legacy of Marie Antoinette, but rather than shooting just a timepiece, we decided to add modern and whimsical elements.
We built props, costumes, and sets by hand on a shoe-string budget - often begging and borrowing resources from friends, strangers, and boutiques, even lucking out on some killer locations. We collaborated on everything from the most minute of details to the major scenes. The project took around 2 years of blood, sweat, and tears - proving to ourselves that we could produce the art that our hearts longed to make and could only dream of. It was days of doing things like dyeing a horse pink (safely of course), and staying up all night making a ridiculous amount of cakes, that formed the lifelong friendships along the way. Being broke doesn't mean you can't create something fabulous!
