Cal Spivey, a Portland, OR, author, envisioned a fashion show book launch highlighting several characters from his upcoming book From Under the Mountain. 

A runway walk is short, so the essence of each character had to be quickly and easily conveyed to the audience, but simultaneously create curiosity. 

A black and white portrait of a woman with striking eyes, wearing a feathered costume with feathers in her hair, standing against a stone wall background.

Symbols, references, and imagery were pulled from the book and visually elaborated, including specific color palettes for each character.
