“Clowns Reimagined” is a project I did because I’ve always had a deep fear of clowns, and I wanted to challenge that by reimagining them through a fashion lens. Clowns Reimagined transforms the traditional clown figure into stylised, editorial characters using bold makeup, curated garments, and theatrical posing. Each look tells a different story, moving from dark to light to reflect my changing relationship with fear. The final outcome is a playful but polished publication that balances surrealism, discomfort, and high fashion.
