NINA WEARS ALEXANDER MCQUEEN
Alexander McQueen—the name, the designer, the brand—is nothing short of iconic. Having the opportunity to create a shoot around pieces from both Spring/Summer and Pre-Fall 2022 collections set off an alarming sense of pressure to embody such prestige that is the house of Alexander McQueen. The challenge was to conceptualize a shoot that embodies the grandiose of the brand, in little to no time, with zero budget—the “make due with what’s already available” scenario that most fashion industry creatives know all too well. The first order of business was to cast talent that could match the power and sense of royalty that is quite literally displayed in the McQUEEN name—someone that would wear the clothes, and the clothes not wear them. With this criteria in mind, there was no one better than Nina Kong of Kim Dawson agency—a sheer icon herself! Those who work with Nina can attest to her elegance and her natural ability to move with grace yet deliver such powerful poses, effortlessly. The next move was to call on photographer/videographer Nick Berryman, who’s skillful abilities with capturing movement and manipulating light are nothing short of impressive. The theme of this shoot incorporates elements of darkness, romanticism, and femininity adorned with fearless strength and power.
