On a crisp autumn day, Isabelle stepped into the studio at Foyers Photography to model the latest creation from Chrystalist Costume Design. The moment she slipped into the emerald green dress designed by Amy Wilks, I knew this shoot would be something special.
Chrystalist is a slow fashion brand that puts quality and sustainability ahead of mass production. Amy’s handmade costumes are made to an exceptional standard using the finest fabrics and findings, and she offers an opulent embellishment service using crystals, beads, sequins and feathers. Her eye for colour theory and design makes each piece a genuine one-off, which is why professional performers invest in her work.
Isabelle was the perfect choice to show the dress off. Known for her professionalism and easygoing nature, she brought the garment to life with real grace and poise.
The autumnal setting suited the emerald green beautifully, the golden leaves and warm tones setting off the rich colour of the fabric. I focused on capturing every detail, from the cut to the intricate finishing that goes into everything Amy makes.
As a one-woman band, Amy takes on only a select number of high-end commissions each year. Based in Suffolk, Chrystalist is a go-to for burlesque and cabaret performers who want their costumes to stand out. If that sounds like you, it is well worth reaching out to her.
