Brand Essence
FACES is a visual concept that bridges two generations — blending classical portrait aesthetics with modern minimalist fashion and design.
It’s a tribute to those shaping Vienna today, seen through the eyes of those who will shape it tomorrow.
Key Characteristics:
A Combination of NeoPortrait Style and 2025 Fashion Trends:
A soft, oil painting aesthetic inspired by 18th–19th century European portraiture — particularly from Austria, France, and Italy — set as the backdrop for contemporary silhouettes in the style of Balenciaga, Off-White, and Dior.
Muted tones, structured forms, and fresh proportions come together to create a reimagined visual language that symbolizes the essence of FACES — modern, yet timeless.
Color Palette
Soft pastels — pink, warm beige, ivory, chocolate brown, and muted grey.
Always refined. Always editorial. Always understated.
Composition
Eyes-only. Partially hidden faces. Quiet gestures. Distant silhouettes.
Abstract, symbolic, and never loud.
Setting
Viennese parquet floors, classical interiors, and subtly iconic city details. Modern presence framed in historic texture.
Mood
Elegant. Intimate. Slightly mysterious.
Every image feels less like content — and more like a memory.

THE OIL PAINTING — Core Symbol of FACES
The core symbol of FACES is not a logo.
It’s not a frame.
It’s the oil painting itself.
We present modern individuals — fashion-forward, culturally relevant, alive in the now — through the lens of 18th–19th century Austrian portraiture.
Each image feels like it could hang in the Belvedere,
yet belongs on today’s runway. That tension is the identity.
Why the Oil Painting?
- It elevates presence into legacy
- It transforms fashion into cultural artifact
- It creates instant recognition across platforms
- It symbolizes what FACES stands for:
→ Timeless values in a modern form
→ Respect redefined visually
Style Signature
Old Master texture with modern styling
- Hidden faces, eyes-only, fashion objects, gestures
- Minimalist poses shown in classical composition
- Muted palette: pastel pinks, beige, brown, ivory
- Always elegant. Always symbolic. Always unmistakable.
Recognition Power
When someone sees a portrait in this style —
they don’t need to read a caption.
They know: this is a FACES.

PILLARS
5 Core Pillars OF The FACES socials
- The Faces - Portraits of the women shaping Vienna — poetic, quiet, powerful. These are not selfies. These are visual legacies. All faces covered.
- The Artists - The next generation. Teenage girls behind the portraits. The hidden brilliance that gives the platform its heart. Behind the scenes of creation, styling, sketching, brush strokes, mentorship moments. Always intimate, never promotional.
- The Invitation - Birds, letters, eyes — all visual metaphors for the invitation-only system. It’s never a callout — it’s a whisper.
- The Legacy - Emotional storytelling. Founder story. The mission. The archive we are building. Where this leads, and who it’s for.
- Platform Introduction - First few pinned posts. Constant reminders of how we work and why.
