Find your colors!

Find your colors
What is beauty? Beauty is a concept mostly based on the male or female gaze. Each of us gives "beauty" another definition depending on our different points of view. However, the gaze makes a general misconception of how one should look to achieve beauty standards.Â
In our project, we chose four different models representing four different typologies of beauty.
Karina- the "classic" beauty, with a well-shaped body and perfect skin; what we considered that represents the gaze;
Anca- the wild, strong personality; who doesn't fear to exteriorized who she is;
Renata- the masculine spirit in a woman's body;
Olimpiu- the feminine soul in a male body.

As the project's location, we chose the Che Guevara Social Pub. As known, Che was an Argentinian revolutionary. Finding your colors, by destroying the social gaze is a new revolution, and as the bar was inspired by what he represents, we considered it the perfect location for the project.
Olimpiu represents the extroverted, gay, free-spirit typology. Meanwhile, Renata is an introverted person. Being part of lgbtq+ community, she fears having presented or expressing too much of herself.Â
We decided to set together Olimpiu and Renata because they represented the opposition from one another.Â

Anca is a content creator, expressing her personality, thoughts, and madness of the world. However, she has an introverted personality, even though she doesn't fear, showing her true self through art.Â
Karina represents classic beauty, having what most would consider the perfect look. However, she is also a person of color, a business-orientated mother of two, who takes care of her and her family's health through sports and food (being vegan).

Firstly, we decided to pose together Anca and Karina to celebrate the unity between women, not depending on age, looks, or skin color. Secondly, we saw them as opposing personalities: Anca- a young, childish, wild spirit, and Karina- a mature, refined woman.
The "Find your colors" project states the idea of discovering and showing your beauty in your way. Each of us is beautiful in a different way.
" The Garden Of Earthly Delights"
Fashion Designer : Andrada Oprean​​​​​​​
The project's name is " The Garden Of Earthly Delights" which refers to the modern title given to a triptych o painting by Hieronymus Bosch. This painting inspired the fashion designer Andrada Oprean to create an outstanding collection and show us that talent and passion have no limits. The project has been successful.
Sex Revolution Collection ​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​Collection Description
The concept behind the Sex Revolution collection is based on the idea of the destruction of gender norms, and behind the idea of being a man or a female, you are a human. A woman can be as strong and independent as a man, and a man can be as gentle and romantic as a woman.
Firebird CollectionÂ
Working with Alesandra has been a fiery, unique, and incredible experience that allowed me to elevate my creation to a different level of freedom.
As a photographer, I resonated with her unique vision such as her original, freestyle which she approaches in the fashion world. In her creative vision, she honors the authenticity of each person liberated, a rebel who is not afraid to express themselves and break the barriers or patterns imposed by the rigid society.

In the mystical, Firebird traditional, Russian story where the Firebird represents a treasure that is rare and difficult to possess, Alesandra takes this essence and brings it back to life transposing them in the new age fashion. This has empowered me to take these two worlds into my own hands and make them live again just as in Stravinsky's ballet masterpiece.
More than the passion and bold fashion style in Alesandra's collections, I was pleasantly surprised to find a young and brilliant artist, who is supporting and encouraging the world to open up to a sustainable life where climate and nature need to be fully protected more than ever.
Everything that Alesandra combines as a fashion designer motivates me and makes me want to collaborate and explore together new ways and ideas in fashion conceptual photography.
