a little peek into the “LES FILLES” fittings 𓊆ྀི❤︎𓊇ྀི

i know i’ve already been sharing and reposting plenty of content from the collection, but i wanted to start from the beginning ….

seeing each look come together for the first time, making the final adjustments, and watching each of the filles bring their own personality to the collection was such a special part of this entire experience. still not over the fact that this collection actually came to life !!!! 🥹

the first of what will inevitably be a very long “LES FILLES” series because i have approximately a million photos, videos, and bts moments to share <3 consider this your warning: there is so much more to come !

&&&& if you want to know a little more about the looks themselves, today’s fashion fille article breaks down the inspiration and details behind each one ✍🏻

introducing “les filles” 𓊆ྀི❤︎𓊇ྀི

beyond excited to finally share a little bit about the collection i’ve been working on for @thefashionfoundryconsulting ‘s gothic couture show coming up so soon !!!!

i was invited to source and style my own runway collection for the show, and getting to create something entirely from my own point of view has been A DREAM 🥹

and the name, les filles, felt only fitting. a little nod to fashion fille and a name for the girls bringing the collection to life. 🪽

& of course the collection wouldn’t be complete without custom nails by the beyond fabulous @pinkwineadornments

september 26 at @fashionbarchicago see you there. 🏹

On my last bridal styled session in Downtown Chicago we only had few minutes of sunlight but location did not disappoint.✨
