NOTES: PAGE MONROE / CALENDAR GIRL.

Haute couture model — of previously renowned stature, that was forced to retire. Faked her suicide, reassumed the moniker of 'Calendar Girl' after her calculated attacks during seasonal / thematic, high fashion shows.

Her goal's to expose the industry, by all means necessary.

A deep dive into the art of it all; as well the very real, darker aspects [ex. nepotism, ageism / age discrimination] & various conspiracy theories / scandals surrounding specific luxury fashion houses.

Diagnosed with Body dysmorphic disorder.

Vittoria Ceretti, my face-claim (temporary[?], pending change).

Her iconic mask's a white (inverted), Moretta mask — for the symbolism alone [as if to declare, I am what you made me; i.e., you took my identity from me]. A round; usually covered in velvet artifact; also known as the 'mask of seduction' due to the fact that it accentuates the curves of a woman's face [as it was traditionally, exclusively worn by women]. It was popular in Venice in the 18th century and was also, often referred to, as the ‘Muta’ = mute, because you had to wear it by holding a tiny piece into your mouth to keep it in place, thus preventing the wearer to speak [as well as my voice].

For reference: VERSACE Fall 2022 collection; specifically the look worn by Bella Hadid.

In this reiteration; she completes her look by wearing a specific pair of Gauntlet gloves.

She's based on the silent killer trope; meaning no catchy lines, no signature weapons on moves -- except... a weird fascination with the scene of the murder, & the appeal to themes (think, Jhin of League of Legends).

She's targeted various designers & rival models, as well as embargo, bad press, humiliation.
