This styling for Remielle centers primarily on a Dark Gothic style aesthetic, featuring a dress pieced together from leather and translucent mesh tulle, contrasted visually by a crisp white neck bow. To elevate the character's presence, I coordinated lace-trimmed Black stockings suspended from garters alongside black strappy stiletto heels, striving to sculpt an elongated, elegant bodily silhouette.
Regarding props, the wings served as the focal masterpiece of this shoot. To channel the atmosphere of Zenless Zone Zero's world, the wings were not only built with multi-layered black feathers, but also embedded internally with red, blue, and purple luminous light tubes. In low-light environments, light cast through the crevices of the feathers paired with fog from dry-ice machines produced an intensely dramatic visual impact on set. For the wig, I intentionally selected a vibrant pink tone, accessorized with star-shaped barrettes and black bows to ensure the headpiece stood out crisply against the dark-toned wardrobe.
The location took place in an underground space featuring graffiti-covered walls, dressed with white industrial oil drums, vintage CRT monitors, chain-link fences, and retro streetlamps. These industrial elements resonated harmoniously with the metallic zippers and buckles across the costume. Lighting relied heavily on intense cool-toned rim-backlighting and purple neon ambiance, lending volumetric density to the smoke haze and enriching the images with expansive depth and cinematic dimension.
Posing and body language demanded meticulous effort during this shoot. Because the wings were so expansive, I explored varied stances—such as raising an arm, sinking into a half-crouch, or glancing back over my shoulder—to prevent my posture from looking constricted. In the frontal standing shots, I had to ensure the wings were fully fanned out while shifting body weight onto one leg, which cleanly accentuated the intricate details of the garter-suspended Black stockings and footwear. Although strapping into these props and heavy gear took substantial time, the luminous glow through the feathers and the tactile sheen of the leather in the finished frames achieved everything I envisioned, culminating in a striking, cohesive visual harmony.
