The Story Of Moody Glamour…
Moody Glamour started out as a feeling. A feeling that sometimes beauty hides in dark places and that there is realness and authenticity in the things you try to avoid the most. The lust for something you shouldn’t, or the addition of a toxic habit. Often times it’s not the greatest points of our lives that define us, but the darkest. Moody glamour tries to capture that glimmer of a moment where you can see theres so much more to a person than their present state of mind. A diamond in the dust, and on the contrary, dust within a diamond. At the heart of this artistic journey lies a fascination with the windows to the soul – the eyes – as they serve as the silent narrators of the complex stories each woman carries within.
