OLYMPIA
About
Women in ancient myth are predominantly at the sidelines, while ‘heroic’ men are at the centre of the stories; this project sets to change this. ‘Olympia’ is a modern, fashion-orientated retelling of female characters in mythology and through stylistic choices of environment and focus on curated or natural light, this project is set to reintroduce these women in a strong and powerful way. To present this project in its final form, I created an editorial magazine with 10 chapters that showcase feminine power and women as the protagonists.
