Becca Boyce is a young, flamboyant, and multifaceted creative based in Dublin, Ireland. Becca’s endeavours range from styling to creative direction, and everything in-between. She ensures that all projects feature an element of her eclectic and truly unique nature. She has worked on a multitude of editorials, commercials, fashions shows and creative projects in her career. Despite being only 20 years old, Becca feels as though she was born to be in fashion and rather than seeing it as an occupation, it is her way of life. Creativity is second nature to the Irish stylist but unfortunately, this was not something that was always encouraged in her childhood environment. This was a key element that Becca wanted to depict through her latest editorial.

“LOVERBOY”, is a fantasy fuelled world that pushes the societal bounds of gender and creativity. The editorial tells the story of living in a dream world, where we see the Loverboy slowly get dressed in 18th-century inspired clothing. From delicate bloomers all the way to extravagant tulle, the story expresses the nature of a creative’s journey in a not so creative place. Encouraged to display only the elegant and simple, leads to an explosion of artistic expression. Even the simplest of looks are still expressive, due to the creative never losing her flare but rather just burying it. Notes of societal gender norms featured with pink and blue contrast the beginning accents of newborn white.
