Backstage at the ECFS
In the spring of 2016 photographer and artist Emidio Battipaglia asked if I would like to join him on a fashion shoot. I went along and he tasked me with capturing backstage. My first time on a shoot, I stumbled around the periphery.
I was led by a desire to capture the students morphing into models, that liminal space between who they were and who they were about to become on the catwalk.
A gothic futurism vibe emanated as upcycled sustainable design asked us to reflect on our relationship with mass-produced textiles.
