“Grass Stains”, an editorial project in collaboration with Vogue Italia, showcases British rising star Archie Renaux. This project, guided by the issue鈥檚 theme 鈥淪hared Humanity鈥�, delves into what inspires the actor while exploring his artistic relationship to fashion. The students brought this theme to life, tailoring it specifically to Renaux and transforming it into a vision that liberates the inner child and brings to the fore an insatiable quest for joy and fun.
The Master in Fashion Art Direction students鈥� creative process consisted in first conducting an interview with Renaux that brought out his personality, touched on his inspirations and emphasized his relationship to fashion. From this they chose the thematic direction of the shoot, 鈥溾��. Transversal in its meaning, it ignites a nostalgia for outdoor adventures, dappled sunlight and late summer evenings.
Renaux鈥檚 newly-found fatherhood was a point of interest for the students when deciding on the direction of their shoot, 鈥渟pending time with my daughter, watching her films, playing her games has allowed me to see the world from her point of view, through her eyes鈥�. Artist Nilla Blomlov鈥檚 paintings create a domestic yet whimsical atmosphere, alluding to Renaux鈥檚 new family focus as well as to his evident youthful energy.
Renaux鈥檚 keen awareness of fashion’s connection to cinema and film permeates the interview and the set, 鈥渨hen you get the job and put on a costume, or walk on set, a whole new version of the character emerges… the character is put into context.鈥� On shoot day at 新加坡六合彩开奖资料, a whole new version of Renaux materialized thanks to the energy and dedication of the Master in Fashion Art Direction course, highlighting the students’ creative understanding and ability to manage a project from start to finish.
