VAHAN KHACHATRYAN | MFW 22/23

FRAGILITY

Directed by Eva Rafaelyan and Lisa Khashba, filmed in Armenia and Abkhazia. The fashion film is a visual reflection on the fragility of national culture and the surrounding world. It is a conceptual triptych, with each part distinctly separated from the previous one by its setting, color palette, art direction, and lighting. The main theme explored by the creators is the dichotomy of fragility and strength, which ultimately prove to be inseparable.
