V magazine
Editorial Design, Styling, Photography
This couture fashion magazine project draws inspiration from Dracula: A Love Tale, exploring themes of eternal love, longing, and rebirth. I developed the visual narrative by studying gothic romance, historical couture, and cinematic storytelling, translating these influences into dramatic typography, rich textures, and layered layouts.
Each spread blends darkness and beauty to evoke a timeless, haunting luxury, using fashion as a medium to tell a romantic story suspended between love and immortality.

Process
To begin this project, I created a physical moodboard to clearly define the atmosphere, emotions, and visual direction I wanted to convey. I then conducted extensive test shoots, experimenting with poses, styling, and expression to capture the depth of emotion needed to tell the story in a couture context. Select fashion elements were chosen for their symbolic connection to the film, including the Russian kokoshnik headpiece, which references the narrative’s historical and romantic roots.
My goal was to reinterpret the story through fashion and design, presenting it in a new light where garments, composition, and typography work together to communicate emotion and timeless romance.
