cosmic couture

My project, “Cosmic Couture” embodies the concept of empowerment because as a student in the Fashion Studies program, I was able to showcase my creativity and knowledge of aesthetics and the fashion industry. I was able to promote this idea through this project by styling my chosen celebrity for the Met Gala.
I believe that what people wear has a great impact on their self-esteem and who they are as a person. The thing about the Met Gala is that “anything goes” and every celebrity gets to express themselves in their interpretation of what the year’s theme is. A lot of celebrity personalities and aesthetics are really able to shine through at this event through the use of successive styling.
For my project, I chose to style Hailey Bieber. Before choosing what I wanted her to wear, I researched and used her current and everyday aesthetic to find something I know she would be comfortable and confident wearing. I took her sleek, yet edgy style, and translated it into a full-on red-carpet look so that she could feel empowered to be her true, authentic self.
