ATLANTA, GA — November 12, 2025 — Atlanta Fashion Week and Bloomingdale’s announce the debut of “Fashion Cartography,” a new solo exhibition by Shannel Resto, the visionary photographer whose lens has become synonymous with the creative spirit of Atlanta Fashion Week. On view at Bloomingdale’s Gallery from November through January, the exhibition takes viewers on a cinematic journey through fashion, movement, and cultural storytelling that spans continents and redefines how we see style in motion.
Through Fashion Cartography, Shannel transforms photography into a form of choreography — every frame pulsing with rhythm, emotion, and intention. From the raw streets of Atlanta to the haute ateliers of Paris and Italy, her imagery traces the creative geographies that have shaped her career and the global language of fashion. Each image is both a destination and a memory, connecting moments, identities, and cultures through her signature visual storytelling.
“Fashion Cartography is my way of mapping the energy, the pride, the excitement, and the heartbeat that keeps fashion alive. This exhibition is a postcard stamped with my experiences and reflections of everywhere fashion has taken me. I’m thrilled to bring this global story home, letting my camera’s coordinates rest here in Atlanta,”
— Shannel Resto, Photographer and Artist in Residence, Bloomingdale’s
As one of the lead photographers for Atlanta Fashion Week, Resto has helped define the event’s visual identity — capturing its bold aesthetic and dynamic movement through the lens of authenticity and soul.
“Shannel’s work doesn’t just document fashion — it moves with it. Her images have become the visual heartbeat of Atlanta Fashion Week, and ‘Fashion Cartography’ captures the very essence of what makes Atlanta a creative capital: freedom, rhythm, and fearless storytelling,”
— Angela Watts, Founder, Atlanta Fashion Week
The exhibition will launch with an Opening Reception on Saturday, November 15, 2025, from 3:00–7:00 PM at Bloomingdale’s Gallery, inviting guests to step into Resto’s visual world — a global fashion diary alive with color, motion, and emotion.
