Stripes and Polka Dots emerge as the central motif, embodying both clarity and versatility. The repetition, orientation and perfection of the pattern are explored in this imagery. Stripes, inherent boldness, whether rendered with sharp precision or softened through irregularity, they act as visual rhythm and contrast. Horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, layered together they evolve into a pattern , an interplay of repetition and variation that produces texture, depth, and identity throughout this editorial. Pattern is the key element to this imagery, through simple lines both thick and thin it creates a positive and negative effect using negative space. Taking on a darker colour palette focusing on raditional black and white photography with the addition of dark browns and deep burgundys and reds, the colour palette has a sophisticated and classic feeling, a mixture between traditional and modern trending colours.
