Ariana DeBose for the Ambition Issue
In the June issue of Marie Claire, the team explored the concept of 'ambition' and its implications for women. The issue aimed to redefine and explore the meaning of ambition, emphasizing a celebration of success in areas that matter most to individuals—whether it be their current career, a new professional path, home life, or overall well-being.
The cover star, Ariana DeBose, who transitioned from musical theater ensemble player to Academy Award winner, explores 
her journey, shedding light on the various facets of success and the challenges associated with public perception, particularly in the
realm of the internet. The fashion direction featured suiting and bold silhouettes, infused with a playful twist through vibrant prints and materials.
My art direction was to show a woman confidently reigning over her domain, exuding power even in the comfort of her own home.
