The shoot, infused with 80s makeup, channels the era’s iconic vibrancy with fuchsia and magenta shades, highlighting the model’s features in a neon glow. Inspired by Catherine Deneuve’s mystique in “The Hunger,” Nelson’s photos blend contemporary flair with retro allure.

Stylist Michael Fusco adds a layer of nostalgic futurism to the mix, selecting pieces from Charles and Ron, Kaftan Studio, and complementing them with striking jewelry from Atra Nova and Melina Maria.

This curated wardrobe of textures and shapes creates a visual symphony, marrying volume with disco-inspired shine, adding a glossy finish to the images.
