    uniE621 Email for Fashion Brand
    This project centers on a hero product moment designed to elevate a single style through editorial storytelling while maintaining a clear, shoppable structure. The Duane suede blazer anchors the experience, positioned as a seasonal essential through a mix of campaign imagery, product detail, and styling guidance. The layout unfolds as a guided narrative—opening with aspirational model imagery to establish mood, then moving into focused product details that highlight fabric, fit, and craftsmanship. A “Shop the Look” moment demonstrates how the blazer integrates into a complete outfit, while the final section introduces the interchangeable dickey system, emphasizing versatility and personalization. Designed for paid social and digital placements, the project balances luxury editorial sensibility with performance-minded clarity, allowing multiple stories—fabric, styling, and modularity—to live within a single, cohesive asset. The result is a premium, scroll-stopping format that showcases how one core piece can adapt across looks, seasons, and occasions. graphicdesigner designer
    uniE621 Paid Social for Fashion Brand
    This paid social series translates our editorial storytelling into high-impact, performance-driven assets by pairing campaign imagery with curated product groupings. Each execution is designed to feel elevated and intentional—more like a magazine edit than a traditional ad—while clearly spotlighting key categories and styling moments that drive consideration and conversion. The layouts balance aspirational model imagery with clean, shoppable product callouts, allowing us to tell a clear visual story at a glance while maximizing product exposure across a single frame. designer photo graphicdesigner
