Portfolio project

PELAGIC FORMS is an experimental fashion collection inspired by Ernst Haeckel's public-domain scientific illustrations from Kunstformen der Natur (1899–1904). I used these archival works to build a custom Recraft V4 Style, translating intricate marine anatomy, organic patterns, and historical color palettes into contemporary couture, streetwear, and accessories. Through detailed product design and creative direction, I developed a cohesive collection and brought it to life through photorealistic editorial campaigns, unconventional styling, and expressive fashion photography. The project explores how forgotten visual archives can inspire an entirely new fashion identity.
