Research: Modern Nymph

I wanted to recreate the 'Grecian Goddess' image that we already have and modernize her in the 21st Century. I was influenced by statues, especially in nature, and how they are stoic but yet remain feminine, with draped dresses. I also found inspiration in Martin Maison Margiela S/S '11 silhouettes, with extreme boxy shoulders. So I took the two and made a dress for the shoot, using polyester chiffon to achieve the draped look. To make it a lot more natural, I used mud in the hairstyle.

My inspiration for this shoot were the women in India, and how they decorate themselves in times of festivities. I also did a bit of research on Indian gods, and how they are portrayed with the use of accessories.I took the warmer palette, focusing on golds, oranges, and browns, and focused on using headdresses, necklaces, and bracelets.
