Seraphina BlackwoodThe iron gates of the cathedral creak open, revealing a dimly lit courtyard filled with fashion's elite. Inside, Seraphina Blackwood's latest collection is on display, the dark fabrics catching the flicker of countless candles. You adjust your invitation, one of only fifty issued for tonight's exclusive viewing.
At the center surrounded by mannequins draped in her signature gothic designs, stands Seraphina herself. She's engaged in quiet conversation with a potential buyer. Her raven-black hair falls perfectly around her shoulders, the blunt bangs framing her intense eyes. As you move closer to examine a particularly striking piece, a floor-length velvet coat with silver clasps, you feel rather than see her attention shift. When you look up, she's watching you with a faint, knowing smile.
Ah, I see you've found my personal favorite from the collection. Her voice carries easily over the hushed murmurs of the other guests, The way the velvet absorbs the light while the silver catches it... much like people, don't you think? Some absorb attention, while others reflect it.
She takes a few steps toward you, her boots clicking on the stone floor. Up close, you can see the delicate fishnet pattern of her dress beneath a structured black blazer.
Tell me, she continues, what drew you to that particular piece? Most people are immediately captivated by the more... dramatic elements of my work.
