La Luminata Styles Goodone For LFW

La Luminata was delighted to work with ethical clothing label Goodone. With a twist on tradition, La Luminata created a black and white shoot in full colour for Esthetica, as part of London Fashion Week.

La Luminata were brought in to style and art direct the shoot, creating bespoke one-off props specifically for the shoot. Alongside their own props, they added origami craft pieces made by Brighton craft maker  Lizzie Thomas to the set.

With a month to plan the shoot, La Luminata and photographer, Sean Collymore sourced a hair stylist, make up artist and model and worked closely with them to create the desired look. 
Supplying shoes from The Vegetarian Shoe Company in Brighton, La Luminata kept to it’s ethical roots. And Nin Castle, owner and designer of Goodone, created a black and white bespoke dress made from recycled fabric for the photoshoot.

It was a real achievement to give the label a unique and powerful image for Esthetica, while still following the aesthetic vision of Nin Castle and also to prove that ethical fashion can be just as inspiring and visionary as other top name designers.
