A concept shoot re-imagining Peter Jackson's 'The Lord of the Rings' through an Indian lens, with the elf-queen Galadriel being the first muse. Styled by me and photographed by CreatickCapture, c. 2019.

Chikankari, a hand-embroidery craft from North India, features on the sari and the blouse, along with a polyester-lurex deadstock yardage for an additional drape.

A metal wire was shaped into the headdress, combining fluid 'kolam' motifs with the design language created for the elves the Lord of the Rings' creative team.
