What happens when fashion’s most inherently seductive staple piece clashes with a contemporary agenda? A productive exchange between the raw and the refined. The little black dress. Symbolic of an era of bold aesthetics and indelible modernity, an unconscious fashion connoisseur. Inimitable model muse Edie Campbell bends her creative aptitude to welcome the modern vision of fashion’s most prominent – Fendi, Chanel, Dior, Saint Laurent, and Alaïa. Draped in progressive genres of the audacious polymath piece, an advanced design acumen is prominent, manifested only from those who lay the groundwork for luxury fashion’s foundation. Conceptualized as a bold enigma, the editorial features reinterpreted expressions of an otherwise celebrated fundamental fashion symbol.
