SøEdited Team SøBeauty Director: Astrid Kearney SøCreative Director: Chris Saint Sims SøFashion Director: Savannah Barthorpe Photographer: Joseph Frankitt-Kennedy @jfkcontact Alina Ispas’s latest collection honours three generations of women: her grandmother, mother, and herself. It explores social and political stereotypes in recent Romanian history, celebrating women's resilience and their journeys back to their roots. The collection highlights traditional "women's work" through exquisite Romanian craftsmanship, including fine lace crochet, intricate embroidery, and meticulously crafted goods.
Inspired by her Romanian upbringing and UK experiences, Ispas blends traditional Romanian techniques with contemporary practices. Her work, influenced by post-Communist life and the importance of mending and repurposing, emphasizes sustainable craftsmanship using repurposed and sustainably sourced materials. This collection bridges cultural gaps and invites a deeper connection to rich traditions and histories.
Re Makeup I crafted a dramatic aesthetic with a bound face technique with nylon that distorted the skin, highlighted by vibrant accents and floral embellishments. The red-glossed lips, stretched and flipped, deepened and evolved throughout the shoot, symbolizing the complex and ever-changing roles women navigate online daily in their pursuit of beauty ideals.The black wig featured a blunt cut and raw, unrefined shape, emphasizing a deliberately unpolished, anti-glamour aesthetic.
Drawing Cabaret Couture (DCC Studios ) team gathered International Fashion illustrators who came together to reimagine Alina Ispas's innovative designs. With poses ranging from 3 to 15 minutes, artists delved into haute couture fashion drawing during a 2-hour session enriched by curated set design, lighting, and evocative soundscapes.
