GLORIA refers to the American actress Gloria Swanson. She was considered one of the greatest legends of silent Hollywood cinema. Her career came to an end with the arrival of talking pictures. The face, whose reflection is blurred by lace, evokes her legendary portrait by Edward Steichen. Steichen is considered the first fashion photographer. After working in fashion for two decades, my career stopped with the covid-19 pandemic, but this work symbolizes a new beginning.
