Ever since i started dreaming of singing…I also started to imagine the songs in colours and pictures.
I strongly believe that …if a song or a poem doesn’t offer me the power to visualise it’s story…it’s not a good song and it’s not a good poem either.
Yesterday Sweet Paprika & TheTophats had finally filmed the first video for their first single.
Haunting Season is a rock song that definetely needed a lot of movement filmed in fixed frame.
I wrote a verse in this song which says: “my dreams are flying”, so i needed the dress that can offer me wings. I remembered a piece of art dedicated to Maria Tanase( a great romanian singer) that I spotted in a fashion show last spring. It was love at first sight. Otilia Brailoiu is the creator of this silk jewel and i felt very fortunate to wear it in my first ever Video Clip.
I dreamt of filming the video in an old building or an old castle, but we just figured out that all we need is a beach and some old furniture. The only place to find this is Oha Beach in Navodari. As you can see the decor…is more than you can dream of,especially for a Haunting Season theme.
And now let’s talk about the Make up and the Hair style. The truth is that i didn’t have any contact of a good MUA in Constanta, so i used the skills i got after 2 months of make-up classes at Atelierele Ilbah, in Bucharest. I used my strong YSL plum lipstick and created a soft smokey-eyes look. For my hair i used a conical curling iron..and in the end my curls + the sea breeze turned out to be PRETTY AWESOME!
So this is the short story in pictures…now we just have to wait to see the final result. As you can imagine, i risk to die from an excess of curiosity…just like the cat did, but i’ll try to survive.
Stay tuned loves!
This September i’m back to business. New Collection in progress + many, many new posts & projects soon to be seen on www.sweetpaprika.ro .

Love,
Gabriela
