STORY - The Actors Studio

Aim

To translate into a fashion narrative the dynamic of Lee Strasberg's Actors Studio in 1950's New York.

Process

A functioning recital hall was found complete with stage, vintage furniture and well scoured floorboards.
Local and international designers were carefully selected for their classic fabrications and retro details. This looks of the working actor's wardrobe evolved into the parred down aesthetic present. The result was a modern take on the aesthetics, silhouettes and energy of, among others, Marilyn Monroe, James Dean and Sidney Poitier.
