Inspiration: Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner (1967)

directed by Stanley Kramer

In this story, the invitation of a black man to a white family’s dinner table is challenging the family. In my window display, the suspended upside down wine glasses reflect the change of values and chaos caused in the family in this 60s movie.

The mother played by K. Hepburn was the character I have chosen to work with. Slightly reserved, sensitive and strong. The pillar of the family. The style is quite conservative and minimalistic. From the start, I knew how I would like to style her. The biggest challenge was working with the suspended upside-down glasses and text at the back which had to be applied by hand.

The objective of the project was to transfer the 1960s style into the present without losing the main characteristics of the past. Even though the character played by K. Hepburn wasn't wearing glasses I decided to use them as a link between the past and the present.
