feature: muse marcus branch styles, shoots, and art directs himself in editorial in sergio wonder’s spring ‘16 collection

May 11, 2016

For his Spring 2016 collection, fashion designer Sergio Wonder collaborated with his muse, photographer and artist Marcus Branch, to create and shoot looks for the collection. Traditionally, the role of a muse is all about theoretical inspiration. In the fashion industry, they are the ideal or imagined person a designer is designing for. But for this project, an editorial series appearing in The Tenth Magazine, Branch played an integral roll in imagining this collection’s creative presentation by styling, shooting, and art directing the shoot. Check it out below.
