Jen’s Wildstyler photoshoot was a perfect collision of retro flair and urban decay, capturing the bright, bold energy of the early 90s amidst a backdrop of gritty realism. Set in a derelict building, the shoot contrasted vibrant nostalgia against the ruins, where broken walls and scattered debris told stories of a forgotten past.
The star of the shoot was a yellow vintage 80s/90s rotary phone, its sunny colour popping against the grey, weathered surroundings. The phone, a symbol of a time when conversations were tethered to a single spot, added a playful yet poignant touch to the scene.
Jen embodied the spirit of the 90s with a mix of confidence and rebelliousness. Her outfit, handmade in the early 90's by my Mum, was a throwback to the era of bright colours and bold patterns, standing out sharply against the decaying structure. As she posed with the rotary phone and cassette player, she breathed new life into these relics, turning the derelict setting into a vibrant time capsule.
The juxtaposition of the bright, nostalgic elements with the decayed surroundings created a unique aesthetic that was both edgy and sentimental. Jen’s photoshoot wasn’t just about looking back at the 90s; it was about reclaiming the beauty in what’s been left behind, showing that even in the midst of ruins, there’s room for brightness and fun.
