Queensmark Shawls
Problem: Queensmark, a luxury fashion brand specialising in premium Egyptian cotton shawls, wanted to elevate their visual identity with high-end, commercial editorial images. Their goal was to showcase the elegance, craftsmanship, and tactile quality of their shawls in a way that resonated with a discerning luxury audience. The brand’s existing imagery fell short of the cinematic, magazine-quality standard required for a modern editorial campaign, and they needed a creative partner capable of delivering on that vision.
Solution: Spectral Lens™ approached the challenge with a bespoke creative campaign, curating every aspect of the shoot to align with Queensmark’s luxury positioning. A professional model was chosen to embody the quiet elegance of the brand, styled in understated tones to ensure the shawls remained the focal point. The shoot took place in a 2013 Rolls-Royce Ghost in Midnight Sapphire blue, using professional lighting, including a Profoto strobe with a 4ft octa softbox to create soft, cinematic illumination across the model and fabric. Multiple compositions were captured, from intimate interior portraits to fashion-forward editorial angles, each carefully designed to emphasise the texture, drape, and premium quality of the shawls. Every detail, from pose direction to lighting, was meticulously crafted to produce imagery that seamlessly balanced product focus with editorial sophistication.
Result: The campaign delivered a collection of modern, high-end editorial images that fully realised Queensmark’s vision. The shawls were presented as tactile, luxurious, and aspirational, while the overall aesthetic positioned the brand firmly within the contemporary luxury market. The imagery is now suitable for campaign launches, lookbooks, print editorials, website hero banners, and social media, providing Queensmark with a complete visual transformation that elevates their brand presence and sets a new benchmark for future campaigns.

These visual assets were licensed for promotional use, enabling their deployment to attract future participants.
