"Legacy of Style" Exhibition

ABOUT THE PROJECT

TOOLS USED

Legacy of Style is a fashion exhibition featuring a curated collection of one-of-a-kind Dolce & Gabbana garments and accessories. I was commissioned to translate the exhibition team’s early concepts into digital renderings that visualized the spatial layout, atmosphere, and visitor experience. Refined through collaborative feedback, the renderings served as visual prototypes that helped the team evaluate and develop the exhibition before it was built.

THE VISION

Context

This exhibition is centered around Maria Manetti Shrem, an Italian-American philanthropist, whose personality and aesthetic served as the foundation for the exhibition's design.

Goal

To create a space that reflected Maria's elegance without overshadowing the pieces themselves.

Design Guidelines

Simple yet sophisticated Incorporate graphics inspired by the intricate patterns found in the gowns & jewelry Color palette meant to complement the collection

Instructions:

put lighting under the pedestals
object labels with images | slightly slanted at an angle | placed on the pedestal with the gown
gowns displayed on "invisible mannequins" (headless, armless, neckless, and transparent)
back curtain - lighting gradient diffusing from bottom to top

WHAT I WAS GIVEN

ENTRANCE PERSPECTIVE

Reasons behind a few of the design choices:

Mirrors showcased the gowns from every angle while opening up the compact space.
Velvet carpet to guide visitors through the exhibition while reinforcing an elegant atmosphere
Gowns elevated on illuminated platforms to give each piece its own moment to shine, as if it were on a stage

EXIT PERSPECTIVE

WHAT I PRODUCED

MY PROCESS

Brainstorming & Ideation
- Researched Mrs. Shrem, drew inspiration from the Baroque and Rococo periods, and developed design concepts that aligned with the project's vision.
- Visited the exhibition space to photograph and analyze multiple perspectives, ensuring the renderings accurately reflected the existing environment.
Material Analysis
- Reviewed project notes and spatial studies to understand the exhibition layout.
- Created rough sketches of each perspective to visualize the placement and composition of the exhibition elements.
Developing the Render
- Refined the perspective photographs by correcting perspective distortion and enhancing image quality in Adobe Photoshop.
- Used Adobe Firefly to generate exhibition elements, including gowns and display objects, by prompting for specific angles, mannequin styles, and compositions.
- Imported each generated element into Photoshop, removed backgrounds, and composited them into the exhibition space. Adjusted scale, perspective, lighting, and placement to create a cohesive and realistic final rendering.
