GALA'24: THE CHARACTER PHOTOSHOOT

The photoshoot unveils the enigmatic allure of GALA24: Symphony No. XIII, an ode to drama, music, and the unknown. Each character is styled as if they have stepped out of a dreamscape, embodying the raw emotion and grandiosity that define the symphony.

The costumes exude a timeless elegance, with velvet and satin fabrics adorned with delicate metallic accents and intricate lace details. Shades of obsidian black, moonlit silver, and deep garnet dominate the palette, symbolizing the interplay of darkness, brilliance, and passion within the story.

This artistic vision is brought to life through a collaboration between HAT – Hanoi Amsterdam Art Team – and LAMODE, the school’s acclaimed fashion design club. LAMODE’s designers masterfully blended baroque influences with contemporary aesthetics, crafting looks that capture the symphony's dramatic spirit. Structured silhouettes, ornate embroidery, and striking accessories such as feathered masks and jewel-encrusted gloves infuse the characters with an air of mystery and grandeur.

Through this partnership, the photoshoot becomes more than a visual teaser; it is a harmonious fusion of theatrical storytelling and cutting-edge design, setting the stage for a performance as breathtaking as the artistry behind it.
