The Collector meets Polimoda

The bi-annual Milan based fashion, art and culture magazine collaborates with students for four editorials

The Collector and Polimoda have joined forces for this project involving Undergraduate in Fashion Styling and Undergraduate in Fashion Art Direction students to create editorial shoots based on four briefs.

The categories for the editorials were beauty and fashion. The editorial board of the magazine selected the four best mood boards by the students and supported the winners in creating the editorials, now published on The Collector

Stains and Shadows

A beauty editorial that looks at the metaphorical possibility of going anywhere: Capri or Ibiza, the Lofoten Islands or Deauville. This editorial brief focused on evoking summer nostalgia, sunny places and making memories in a different time and place.

Landscape of Ink

A beauty editorial that challenged the students to connect fragrance with emotion in order to create a dreamlike visual that turns the world upside down with the right dose of surrealism. The editorial tells a story or evokes a feeling rather than merely styling and presenting a product.

Quiet Luxury

This fashion editorial focused on an interpretation of quiet luxury. The priority was to look at luxury as a starting point, to create a world in which luxury brands come back to their own DNA through a focused, consistent and quiet aesthetic. 

Lost & Found

This fashion editorial examined what our objects and accessories say about us. The challenge for the students was to create a narrative, evoke a character and cause viewers to ask questions through the styling and art direction of this still life shoot.
