It is the 70s, In the middle class district of American city, which is trying to leave the old strictly  religious culture, to enter into modernity. The Lisbon sisters, with their beauty, shock the lives of everyone, They are Blondes, pale and fascinating. The youngest sister's suicide, in fact, breaks the  balance. Despite of that tragic event, the sisters go back to school almost more beautiful and glowing  than before, but the younggest suicide has already spread the seed of evil and her sisters' destiny is now scarred. That is what our photograhs want to tell: innocence, angelic beauty and then anxiety and the  abandonment of frivolousness. A mysterious and terrible adolescence, enlightened by a golden light  that becomes darker and darker.

The photographs are a tribute to all of that and to fascinating Sofia  Coppola's film, in our search for nuances, tones , clothes and perfect faces to better express it. In the first part the choice of colors is willingly tending to light pink tones, to express the balance in a deep and symbolic relationship among sisters, made of laughter and happiness while they play, hug  each other and smile. The makeup is simple and natural to highlight youth. The light blue color, which  we can find in the makeup and in the sisters' eyes, reminds the sky and communicates quietness and  peace. In another foreground we find the color red just under the eyes, a color which reminds blood  and death. In the following photographs, in fact, there's a sense of anxiety: the faces of the girls  become darker, there are no more smiles or joyful behaviors, but melancholic and concerned expressions.

The colors of the pictures become less bright and darker, to highlight the negative course  of their lives. We wanted to represent all of that through symbolic gestures and details: they stay  together, carry each other until the end without letting each other go, they embrace each other and  literally hold on each other. The older ones cover the younger ones' eyes, almost like they were trying  to prevent them from seeing the evil that surrounds them, whispering comforting words.  The first short dresses, where the white color is Prevalent, want to emphasize the girls' purity and  carefreeness, synonyms of virginity and spirituality. Some vintage pieces are original from the 70s,  since the film is set in that time, and the palette of colors was chosen considering Coppola's film  aesthetics.

The location symbolizes a cold setting, with bare, bleack and winter trees in contrast to the rays of the  sun. There is a small artificial lake. The Water is The Source of Life, vital principle intended like the  middle of Regeneration, a symbol of metamorphosis. Our story ends it with a hug, in which the three girls come together and become a single entity.

“We felt the imprisonment of being a girl, the way it made your mind active and dreamy, and how you  ended up knowing which colors went together. We knew that the girls were our twins, that we all  existed in space like animals with identical skins, and that they knew everything about us though we  couldn’t fathom them at all. We knew, finally, that the girls were really women in disguise, that they  understood love and even death, and that our job was merely to create the noise that  seemed to fascinate them.”
― Jeffrey Eugenides, The Virgin Suicides
