Inspired by Etta James’ “All I Could Do Was Cry,” this series captures the devastating beauty of heartbreak when love is promised but never delivered. The song’s symbolism l of watching a future you once imagined slip into someone else’s hands,becomes the foundation for a visual narrative that is both intimate and cinematic.
The images transform sorrow into style: gowns and textures that whisper of elegance, contrasted with the raw vulnerability of a woman unraveling in silence. Each frame mirrors the song’s haunting cadence poised yet fractured, glamorous yet grieving. Shadows stand in for despair, while softness in gesture hints at a quiet surrender.
“You Were Supposed to Love Me” is less about tears than what they signify: the tension between dignity and devastation, beauty and betrayal. It is heartbreak rendered as fashion language, a portrait of resilience wrapped in vulnerability.
