From a young age Ciara was destined to be a star, with an impressive capacity for storytelling through the medium of dancing and singing. An all-round entertainer, Ciara would document the struggle of breaking down music barriers by creating intricate freestyle routines. Ciara would seamlessly transition between contemporary and hip-hop dance to highlight the degradation that women faced in challenging the male music movement. Gradually Ciara’s talent was acknowledged and she is often cited as the most inspirational and talented female dancer in the modern age of music.
Today Ciara is a doting mother who sees motherhood as an outlet of both maternal and feminist expression; after all it is possible to champion female empowerment and be a stay at home mother. Ciara cites that motherhood does not hold you back but opens new doors and now Ciara can add modelling to her resume. With the new found maturity that Ciara has found in becoming a mother, modelling became the next natural step. Cavalli was struck by Ciara’s “youthful, proud elegance” and “beauty with a hint of wildness, a rare model find. Like the fierce spirit animal of a tiger, Ciara’s campaign is a hidden gem that is frightening yet surreal at the same time.
Shot by Francesco Carrozzini on location at Milk Studios in Los Angeles, Ciara wanders through a “surreal kingdom where the walls look like a magical sky and surfaces enchant with desert volumes and earthy hues.” The contrast between regal jewel and desert tones is hauntingly melodious, re-enacting the battle between the orient and the oxidant. Inspired by the Far East, the collection features embroidered silk pieces, luxe lounge wear, dreamy oriental prints and a modern Italian aesthetic.
The haunting melody of the far-east accentuates Ciara’s yearning for acceptance in breath-taking shots. Ciara is poised regally with a chiselled bone structure to die for and captures the creative essence of the Cavalli brand. With her model good looks, lean figure and rare aesthetic appeal, Ciara is changing the fashion industry one frame at a time.
