RED REVIVAL

LETTER FROM EDITOR ‘Red Revival’ is a high-fashion, beauty and lifestyle editorial focusing on the recontextualisation of a vintage red MGB 1967 sports car. There is a strong and consistent red colour story throughout the images which explores the allure of the vivid colour through the lens of a sleek classic red car, patent leather and latex high fashion and shoes, showcasing the power, passion and style that this vibrant hue evokes in both the automotive and fashion worlds. Each photograph celebrates strength, sophistication, and sensuality, portraying red not just as a colour but as an embodiment of bold individuality and the modern woman. The woman owns the car; this is the underlying narrative throughout the editorial, a bold modern woman.
