[STARGIRL]

STARGIRL IS AN ORIGINAL CHARACTER-DRIVEN FASHION PROJECT FOLLOWING A MOON GIRL WHO TRAVELS TO EARTH AFTER FALLING IN LOVE WITH HER GRANDMOTHER'S STORIES OF THE SPACE AGE (ONLY TO FIND CYBER TRUCKS AND PODCAST BROS IN PLACE OF THE GLAMOROUS WORLD SHE IMAGINED). DRAWING INSPIRATION FROM THE MAXIMALIST FANTASY OF ZANDRA RHODES AND THE ECLECTIC ROMANTICISM OF COLLINA STRADA, THE PROJECT'S CENTERPIECE IS A HANDMADE PARTY DRESS CONSTRUCTED ENTIRELY FROM THRIFTED MATERIALS: THE GARMENT STARGIRL WEARS WHEN SHE FINALLY, FULLY ARRIVES ON EARTH. THE STORY AND CREATIVE PROCESS ARE DOCUMENTED TOGETHER IN AN ORIGINAL HAND-DRAWN COMIC BOOK, WEAVING ILLUSTRATION AND PHOTOGRAPHY FROM THE STARGIRL PHOTOSHOOT INTO A SINGLE NARRATIVE. STARGIRL IS ULTIMATELY ABOUT THE GAP BETWEEN THE WORLD WE ROMANTICIZE AND THE ONE WE ACTUALLY INHERIT ! STARGIRL REPRESENTS OUR STUBBORN, SPARKLY INSISTENCE ON FINDING MAGIC IN IT ANYWAY.
