OPIA -instagram link- is a duo comprised of Bambi & Bauti (me) that started in London's queer underground scene throwing parties. Using our mediagenic skills across social media content & fashion comms to platform those around us and make a name for ourselves as a fashion/arts/culture events collective. So far we've curated art exhibits, released our own line of clothing, organized a runway show, and created various brand pop-ups + activations geared towards our crowd.
In terms of us as an influencer/mascot 'duo', we've been featured in Hunger Magazine, Dazed, Dazed #2, Postergirl, Jaded London, published a fashion editorial, and walked for Windowsen in the last Paris FW. We do lots of interview-style reels that always do really well & have a particular skill at communicating with Gen-Z and creating fun viral moments. Our objective is to turn our scene + those within it into household names; bridging this group of London queer creatives with the fashion world.
Average reach of 650,000 accounts per month on Instagram + reels averaging at 35k views.

For our last event 'BUNNY', which fell on Easter Weekend, we created a runway show featuring 6 different designers. From Maximilian Raynor to La Maskarade to Aikeremiokha; including lookbook video/photography and a Dazed feature alongside Princess Julia.
I created all visual assets for BUNNY & directed the video & phototeam on the creation of all event content. Pulling references from Alexander McQueen's 1998 RTW runway show mixed with nods to Big Brother and a macabre-collides-with-cute Easter bunny motif.
MOTH CLUB
Recent teaser posters I created for the release of 'MOTH CLUB', our 2nd latest event which combines all things ethereal, fairycore and 'Winx Club' with a radioactive dystopia.
Using my knowledge of Latin American Magical Realism to think of the most 'realistic' ways of portraying these winged creatures; X-rays and Kids drawings.

OPIA is anchored in a guerilla-marketing approach, curating an omnipresence through digital manipulations. I began by photoshopping the logo around google maps, including famous London gay bar G-A-Y as well as Berghain and Studio 54. Bombarding the logo wherever possible to establish our brand's pov. Our best known image is the digital manipulation of Anna Wintour wearing an OPIA tanktop & miniskirt.
OPIA as an events-collective has gone on to create brand pop ups & art exhibits, spotlighting the fashion/art voices within our own scene. Hopefully showcasing that we are much more than just a queer rave, even though that is at the center of our identity/alternative style. On Nov 20th 2023 we curated and produced our first ever art gallery show with an amazing turnout. Looking into all things bimbocore, rave culture, Y2K, memes, celebrity culture, consumerism, the digital and more. To the right you can read some words written about the theoretical frameworks around OPIA's event that apply to everything we do.

This guerilla-style marketing approach has created a brand identity that is constantly evolving, constantly graffiti-d onto pop culture iconography, human/animal bodies, celebrities, locations, and so forth. These images above are a compilation of posters I've created for past events. All with a single goal of pushing out "Opia-mania" and creating this omnipresent vandal presence for the brand/event.

Lastly I wanted to highlight digital/AI/3D visuals I've created for OPIA, also projected within our events. The one on the top left in a coding-aesthetic currently holds over 250k views & was picked up by various arts/culture pages. I've also directed more comedic 'tiktok' friendly videos that together have amassed 2 million+ views. Our best performing content garnering over 600k views and 100k likes.
