The song "Cauchemar" (French for "nightmare") carries a deeply evocative title. It tells the story of Grace, a young woman scarred by past wounds. In a struggle for survival, she isolates herself from those close to her, choosing to face a harsh reality alone. To escape her pain, she invents an inner world—a dark, oppressive labyrinth symbolizing her nightmare.
Within this maze, she is haunted by shadows of her past and explores different rooms—doors that open into her dreams and illusions. Yet, the darkness is never far, always ready to consume her. Throughout her journey, a mysterious compass guides her—a symbol of her buried hope. In the end, as the darkness closes in, she realizes that accepting the helping hand of her loved ones is the key to escaping the maze and finally finding the light.
Photos of the clothes I made
Moodboard for the 1st Look: Labyrinth
For this music video, we used a flowing white dress.
A harness, black boots, and chain necklaces were added to contrast with the fluidity of the dress, emphasizing her connection to past wounds that draw her into her own reality.

Moodboard for the 2nd Look: Girl Boss
The main inspiration for this look was the "Girl Boss" aesthetic, but with a 90s twist and plenty of pink.
We wanted to highlight the artist's feminine yet powerful side—a confident woman who is unstoppable.
The ensemble includes a blazer, pearl necklace, earrings, and sunglasses.
This look was created by repurposing existing pieces, modifying some of them, such as the blazer.

Moodboard for the 3rd Look: Artistic Bubble
The main inspiration was an outfit worn by DPR LIVE, designed by stylist An Joonyang.
To give it a more RnB feel, we added a bandana to her hair and large hoop earrings.
We upcycled a piece of pagne fabric from her native Burkina Faso to transform an existing denim outfit, giving it a completely new look.

Drawings and Sketches
These are the sketches I created based on the moodboards. They served as the guiding thread for my clothing research. We then adapted the designs to the garments we had or found in thrift stores. The only outfit that closely resembles the original concept is the one I made, the one for "artistic bubble" outfit.
