Decadent and opulent, Black is Beautiful by Tia Adeola was inspired by Sofia Coppola’s 2006 film Marie Antoinette and “produced through the lens of Renaissance epicureanism and indulgent luxury,” according to a press release.
Directed by Nina Meredith, the two minute fashion film showcases Tia Adeola’s elevated take on evening wear; high slit floor-length silk gowns which feature Adeola’s signature ruffles, beaded corsetry, sheer embroidered jumpsuits, lace gowns, and slinky two piece sets.
