Taylor Swift's Folklore Lookbook
When Taylor Swift released her seventh studio album IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GLOBAL PANDEMIC, I - like the majority of the population - had it on repeat throughout much of quarantine. Tay is nothing if not innovative, and manages to constantly and successfully reinvent her sound and aesthetic for each of her albums. Folklore is no exception.
I love the idea of using one medium of art to inspire another, so I decided to create this Plus-Size Lookbook based on each of the seventeen tracks within the album (yeah that's right, including the lakes). Creating these looks and photos took about a month and a half of planning, collaboration, and execution with my incredible photographer and friend, Jenna Rinicker (more on her later).
If nothing else, this moody, contemplative, and woodsy lookbook was SO MUCH FUN to create and shoot. I hope you enjoy!

The biggest thanks in the WORLD to Jenna Rinicker. When I originally asked her to help me with this I was feeling a little silly for wanting to dive head-first into the mammoth project just for fun, but she not only met me where I was but RAN with it and made the process so much more enjoyable and fun. She is truly a visionary and has an eye for capturing the perfect shot. I couldn't emphatically recommend her more - BOOK HER NOW!!!
All the details for all the pieces are linked below each photo and on my SHOP page! I added dupes for anything that is sold out or unavailable.
What album should we do next!?
xoxo,
