For the campaign, Vera was fully immersed in the creative process, styling each look to show how the collection can shift with the woman wearing it. Tailoring, shirting, jersey, knitwear and evening pieces become the foundations of a wardrobe that moves seamlessly from day into night.
Behind the Scenes: AW26 Campaign Shoot
“This collection is not necessarily about any one woman, but an attitude — one that expresses both sophistication and versatility. Throughout my career, as both a fashion editor and a designer, I have always been drawn more to how clothing is worn — almost more than the pieces themselves.”
Set against the energy of New York after sunset, familiar wardrobe staples take on a more sensual edge. The trench becomes an evening layer, the white overshirt transforms into a dress, while the bandeau can be styled alone or layered for an entirely different expression.
“For our inaugural campaign, I chose to shoot each look at night to emphasize both the sensuality and mood of how a day wardrobe can be transformed for evening. That is how I personally style myself - and make my wardrobe work for me."
