i-D Magazine presents 'Inside Dariia Bila’s Theatre,' an editorial fashion feature profiling the design process and workspace of designer Dariia Bila. Captured by photographer Anastasiia Vlasova, the project documents the creation of sculptural garments within a professional studio setting. The imagery utilizes a blend of documentary and editorial techniques, alternating between candid workshop portraits and stylized fashion captures. The aesthetic is defined by a clean, warm palette that highlights the architectural construction of Bila’s work. Using both natural light and direct flash, the project emphasizes texture, from intricate knitted capes to metallic pleated collars, against industrial backgrounds of textile racks and sewing equipment. The series also provides a glimpse into the designer's workflow through candid shots of sketches and planning materials, anchoring the theatrical silhouettes in the practical reality of garment production.
