OVERVIEW

IT GIRL was more than a party. It was a cultural moment, an underground fashion week, and a visual love letter to individuality.

I conceptualized, cast, styled, marketed, and hosted the event from start to finish — blending runway energy with campaign-level visuals, street-style chaos, and cinematic flair.

MY ROLE

- Creative Direction – Built the concept from scratch

- Casting Director – Recruited models with distinct looks and energies

- Styling – Styled and directed individual editorial looks

- Photography Direction – Hired and directed photographers to capture high-impact editorial portraits

- Graphic Design – Created all marketing collateral, flyers, and visual assets

- Event Production – Co-organized and hosted the live event

- Experience Design – Created an immersive photo-first experience
