Sweet Valley Versailles (2018)

Sweet Valley Versailles (2018) was an exercise for myself in coming up with a concept for and styling an editorial story. I was inspired by our current consumer obsession of fast fashion and its dangerous impact on the planet and after spending the summer volunteering at a charity shop, I had made a commitment to only buy secondhand and vintage. In this shoot I wanted to style clothes from my own thrifted collection to dismantle stereotypes about wearing "old clothes" and to show how fun "playing dress up" can be.
