BIANCA
Creative Direction & Art Direction
Historically, knighthood has been associated with men, but figures like Joan of Arc redefined this role. Inspired by her legacy, my goal was to reinterpret the female knight with a modern aesthetic, merging historical influences with contemporary fashion.
PROBLEM
Bianca blends medieval armor with avant-garde styling, symbolizing strength and resilience. The metallic armor contrasts with modern silhouettes, while a golden sky backdrop enhances the subject’s mythical presence. The composition reflects power, elegance, and defiance against traditional norms.
CREATIVE APPROACH
Metallic armor paired with a modern black dress and heels merges past and present.
WARDROBE
SET DESIGN
A golden clouded sky creates a celestial, dreamlike atmosphere.
Reflective lighting emphasizes depth and enhances the armor’s striking presence.
LIGHTING
The subject’s poised stance embodies empowerment and reinvention.
