Misericordia – Summer 2011 Collection Backstage Shooting

The shooting took place in the South of Lima, Peru, in a small village named “TIGA”. This place has been chosen for its military reserve, located in the middle of huge sand dunes, where the young recruits are working out.

It was a magical day for Aurelyen and its team, working for the second time with the photographer Camilo Echeverri. It was a new successful collaboration with the precise and very professional Colombian who worked with famous brands, such as Levi’s, Wrangler or Leonisa.

For the new collection Spring-Summer 2011, Aurelyen chose two Peruvian models: André Gallet and Stéphanie Chiller.
The stylist and designer of Misericordia would like to work with models, who have some specific characteristics, and who would represent the social and ethical involvement of the team. Showing another image of Peru and Latin America, as well as different faces and figures, makes Misericordia a unique brand.

Aurelyen and its team spent the whole day among dunes, caressed by burning grains of sand, trying to take strong and liberated photos, lost characters in the landscape and the infinite horizon. The aim was to overstep a simple fashion shooting, creating an atmosphere closed to the cinema, with a real artistic approach and emphasizing the work of photographer Camilo Echeverri.
The latter did not have any fixed directives about the enhancer of some clothes, or about the brand image either product or commercial orientation. On the contrary, they would like to create together some pictures, which mean something for consumers and lead them to go beyond their actual conceptions.

Through the new Spring-Summer 2011 collection, Misericordia wants to transmit notions by pictures such as ethic, social responsibility, rare beauty, freedom and adventures beyond limits. Clothes are comfortable, sophisticated and create adventurous and elegant figures.

During shootings, Aurelyen aimed to organize as well as he could the project, to go beyond the technical limits and focus only on nature, ethic and the quest of the rare beauty. It is important for Misericordia to leave the Peruvian workshop and make the team discover Lima, Latin America and beauty of those uncommon spaces.

Misericordia’s team is always glad and proud to take part into shootings of new collections and to share a fashion and artistic creation time.
