03 — Visual identity
The look
Black monochrome — satin cowl, tailored shorts, one beaded scarf as the only print. A clean base so jewelry and hardware can do the work.
- Styling logic
- Layered gold, tassel bag, no extra color. The scarf is the only print in the look.
- Texture + materiality
- Satin drape at the neckline, beaded scarf against matte black, leather bag and metal rings.
