A collection by Scott Sloan
No one knows quite how she does it. She dances like no one is watching. She effortlessly captivates everyone at the party. She absentmindedly pulls together an impossibly chic look. She is sweet and innocent yet she leaves everyone utterly intrigued by what she will do next. And the whole time, she is completely unaware of her magic.
S
cott Sloan presents 'The IngĂŠnue', attempting to encapsulate the essence of that which cannot be put into words. The 'Je Ne Sais Quoi' of this charismatic creature and her beguiling allure as she gets ready for a night out in her pied-Ă -terre. She is an exercise in contradiction, pared back, relaxed and making hair and fashion choices almost as an afterthought, yet always the coolest girl in the room thanks to her inimitable Parisian style. The collection is inspired by high fashion; luxe fabrics in a kaleidoscope of different textures and embellishments, in the vein of the recent Moschino, Gucci and Prada campaigns. Rather than a classic black and white palette, the images have been infused with a golden sepia tone to add to the richness and enable the accessories to sparkle. The skin is dewy and incandescent whilst the eyes are subtly smoky and the lips virtuously nude. She is impossible to pin down, so here Scott plays with capturing her multiple personalities within the one frame, experimenting with the concept of mirror images.
