The Sophisticated Woman
The Sophisticated Woman follows a mother and daughter as they perform their intimate morning routines, and ultimately create their perfect, power suit looks.
Director Statement
The Sophisticated Woman is inspired by the connection one holds with clothing and the confidence that can be found in our everyday garments. In today’s media, we often find that men are portrayed with immense suave and sophistication in their tastefully curated apartments and perfectly tailored suits. Through this film, I wanted to create a space in which women can be the same, without sacrificing their femininity or comfort. Following the morning routine of a mother and a daughter, the film focuses on the details that make one’s perfect, power suit while also highlighting the differences in generational styles. As they go through the universal ritual of getting ready for their day, both mother and daughter change from women who just got out of bed into powerful sophisticated individuals, transfigured in a suit.
