Ambiance — Beirut Living

Brief

A murder-mystery fashion editorial for Sayidaty: an alien lands on Earth and takes the identity of a wealthy, glamorous wife. Her husband is dead, she has turned herself in, and the crime scene is set — but her only priority is looking flawless. We were brought in as set designer to build that world.

Approach

We built the crime scene as a stage: a saturated, off-kilter luxury interior — red velvet, gilt frames, a rotary phone — graded in acid green and pink so vanity reads as the alibi. Fashion becomes the disguise; the jail cell becomes a runway. Every set piece was designed and dressed for the camera under the creative direction.

Outcome

A ten-image editorial, shown here in selection, published in Sayidaty. Set design by Azzi Studios; creative & fashion direction by Andrew El Chaoui Fati, photography by Sam Khateb, produced at Studio Interneon.
