Chief Studio‘s Resort 2020 collection was inspired by designer Zoe Ellis’s chance encounter with Man Ray’s series Le Collier Tragique depicting Mademoiselle Dorita, a cabaret dancer, wrestling with a snake.
A beautiful depiction of the female form, but with palpable tension within: this is a woman who is both liberated and subjugated. This wonderment, tension and curiosity manifested itself in a journey through colour, print, texture and symbolism.
