Beauty & Brine
The thick air is sharp with salt. Traversing the rolling dunes of a New England shoreline to the tune of crunching seashells, rocks, and sea glass, we spot bleached driftwood and abandoned fishnets peeking behind the sand mounds. [Model is wearing Kelp Vest and Octopus Skinny Scarf.]
Tangled seaweed clings to her wet skin and barnacles cling to jagged rocks like old lovers.
A heavy blanket of fog suddenly falls to hover low overhead. [Model is wearing Organza Bow Trench with Oil Slick Patent Leather Boots.]
They bow their head, as if to avoid the weight of it. They watch the sunlight dance over the rippling waves, eyes jumping to the next ray caught glimmer. [Models wearing Barnacle Encrusted Panelled Dresses.]
She moves against a slate sky, her dress alive with the sea, textured secrets pulled from the deep. Each step pulls her closer to the tide & further from the shore — the draw of the raw and unrefined, the tug of the cold, vast unknown. [Model is wearing Jellyfish Sea Shore gown.]
They stand before the sea, side by side. She is small against the grand expanse, wearing many mini shells to form a mini skirt. [Model is wearing Auger Shell Mini Skirt.]
She is both artifact and siren, a fusion of ocean and edge — of beauty stripped bare by the cold, craggy coast. He wears sculpted armor of ancient crustaceans, and laces the pearls of his oyster delicacies onto his own chest, over his heart. He is both warrior and warmth. [Model is carrying Mussel Tote.]
Out here, where waves break on worn stones and the autumn chill presses down, beauty finds its grit. “Beauty & Brine” is not gentle—it’s windswept and wild, graceful yet untamed, threading the sea’s own chaos in fashions. Each piece is an ode to the salt and the stone, to the shoreline caught between ferocity and calm, stitched from the fragments of a world always in motion. Cheers to the tides.
