This art collection derived from the stargirl interlude from The Weeknd’s Sophomore album. The lyrics of the song; “I just wanna see you shine cos I know you are a stargirl” resonated with me and fell in love with it. I therefore spoke to my team and we developed moodboards and created based on this theme. The first look was inspired by the fiction movie ‘Elektra’. Although there were no swords flying lol...I just wanted that vibe in an aesthetically pleasing way. The second look, which has our muse Joy in a blue blazer, is a simple play on sport and fashion. The project in its simplest form captures a young woman who is intricately obsessed with stardom. Scenes from the film bring to the fore a woman living in the moment, urban-oriented and isn’t scared of crashing. - Majeek Daniel
