Advanced Art Direction & Image-Making in Fashion

Concept development and story-telling are key elements for this approach.
Art Direction & Image-Making in Fashion
The contemporary fashion industry cannot function without the image, and the process of creating the image which turns commodities into objects of fashion.
It is through image-making that the ‘symbolic’ goods of fashion are created (rather than material goods). Those symbolic goods give way to the consumption of material goods; a photographic campaign of a collection is what allow this collection to be commercialized and accessible to the customer. In fashion, we consume an image before we consume a product.
Image-making does not exclusively address the photographic material but expands to visual identity, branding, storytelling, narrative building and concept generating.
Image-making in any line of practice, like the ones mentioned above, primarily entails applying strategies of art direction before employing specialized skills for the corresponding field. Art direction is a global process of creating a story or a concept for a fashion brand, collection, magazine, photo-shoot, film or even visual merchandising.
