Photography Collaboration with Dara Breeze in Seattle

By Chelsea Klukas, Founder — Lumen Couture

Our looks appeared in the "Miseducation of Representation" series by Seattle-based photographer Dara Breeze/Brze Media.

Our LED Gold Sequin Dress and Stardust Spacesuit featured in the photoshoot.

Our stardust sequin jumpsuit and gold sequin dress were recently featured in a beautiful photoshoot by photographer Dara Breeze, owner of Brze Media.

In the words of the artist:

"Throughout the history of popular culture, representation has been criticized to be limited and forgetful towards showing inclusion. My mission is to bring awareness towards the impact of individuality through representation by bridging the gap between the relationship of education and representation in popular culture eras.

This series was shot through a digital lens with an inspiration intertwined with 60s Vogue stories and glamours Hollywood style icons, such as Cher and Diana Ross. The purpose of this series is to set an example of the representation of individuality through a nostalgic era in fashion."

Dara Breeze is based in the Pacific Northwest and open for bookings. She aims for creative director roles, that give agency to spread positive light on the representations of digital diversity and redefine love as inclusion.
