The concept behind this photoshoot was the current “Gorp Core” streetwear trend. The trend features outdoor wear reimagined, and promotes using items from one’s own closet pushing back against overconsumption. This shoot reimagines gender with menswear looks modeled by femmes. My Creative Director at the time, Amaris, allowed me to pitch this concept as well as organize the collaboration with CeeBlues Store, a local Richmond brand that I look up to. Both our minds together created unique looks, and Amaris’ willingness to let me take the lead on this project led me to a great opportunity for growth. Learning from Amaris was a great privilege!
