GABRIELLA MARINA GONZALEZ SLOW RELEASE

- Editorial Design

I was approached by Gabriella Marina Gonzales with a concept for Slow Release, an 18-piece collection of detailed and multi-functional leather accessories. I was tasked with curating a photoshoot in lookbook format. Inspired by the minimalism of 90s Calvin Klein ads, the photoshoot and subsequent lookbook aim to provoke the viewer through the layered use of macro shots of flesh and sweat. I influenced the overall theme of the project, including designing the entire layout of the book. Instead of leading with a key look from Gabriella’s collection, I chose the disruptive front cover to highlight the provocativeness and add a hint of satire.
