The campaign themed Memoirs of a woman takes inspiration
from the movie Memoirs of a Geisha, creating an editorial that tells a story of
a woman depicting elements of a modern Geisha in a mood that is sensitive,
serene and graceful.
A Victorian urban park in London - Myatt Fields, designed
by Britain’s first professional woman landscape gardener Fanny Rollo Wilkinson
serves as the perfect backdrop for the editorial camping emulating scenes from
the movie, shot by Masatoshi Hamanoi and directed by creative director Daryl
Rita Osekreh.
Through this campaign creative director Daryl Rita
Osekreh, brings Ghanaian creative talents once again to the forefront, and
placing it in a global space by mixing creativity and talents from different parts
of the world as a source of inspiration to tell an engaging fashion story
inspired by the art and sensitivity of a traditional Geisha woman.
Translated with simplicity, the editorial is set in a
thoughtful and delicate mood in collaboration with celebrity Hair Stylist of
Ghanaian descent Charlotte Mensah and Mifani Shoes by Audrey Mifani. Photographer
Masa Hamanoi sensitively captures models in delicate long printed silk
garments, and bright orange and cobalt blue printed Kimono inspired dress by Russian
designer duo Xsenia & Olya. In another set Model is captured in an elegant
long cherry red dress, and in a navy blue silk dress printed with pastiche of
blue hearts mimicking cherry blossoms by Beulah London.
Make-Up Artist Graziella Vella subtly approaches make-up
throughout the story using the symbolic red colour as the main colour for the
lips. Models eyes are defined with simple black lines, creating a Memoirs of a
Woman embodies the art of creativity, sensitively told by exploring the freedom
of fashion expression through the work of creative women of different
backgrounds in a global space.
