“11″ Round-Up

Man oh man it’s been super busy these past couple of weeks.  We shot my SS12 lookbook which I can’t wait for you to see, big shout-out to Sergio de Luz, Laura Lashley and Alexis Ostrowski and to Marlow & Sons for letting us shoot in their gallery space.  It  was a lovely way to end 2011!

If I take a second to breath and reflect I can say without a doubt that has been an amazing year for me professionally and personally and in a bittersweet goodbye – here is my ‘year that was’  tribute, cue lights and music…

This little girl rants why girls toys have to be pink, Mattel are you listening??

Found Hedi Slimane’s blog this year – amazingness in black & white

Anna Della-Russo, who always looks like she’s having a whale of a time

These super cool recycled skateboard stools by Deckstool

There are a couple of seasons of Fame on Hulu and I just finished watching it, I.need.those.dance.moves…

I had the pleasure of meeting Katherine Lowe and Isaac Hindin Miller both are from New Zealand and both are producing fantastic blogs that remind me I  should take more photos.

I just got an iphone before Christmas and I’ve since become addicted to Angry Birds…friends? what friends??

Portlandia = amazing

My trip home to see family and for once having a great camera to document it

Tacos! Specifically Fish Tacos from Rockaway Tacos, oh how I miss you!! I would bike 15 miles each way to eat and sun myself at Rockaway Beach, roll on summer…

My first press in print – super proud moment with Brooklyn Magazine

What a year! Looking forward to all that 2012 brings, happy new year everybody!

 

 

Shooting

Well, it’s that time of year again and I’m due to shoot next Thursday for SS12.  As a precursor of sorts I assisted on my photographers (Sergio de Luz) shoot.  He has a talent for building teams out of thin air…Nei Cruz in make-up, Laura Lashley doing hair, twin sisters Elissa and Shaunna styling and Jorge and I in charge of the reflectors…it was shot on the U.W.S. and perfectly fitted the clothes that were pulled from heavy hitting Haute Couture houses like Ferragamo, Chanel and Louis Vuitton – about the closest I’ll ever get to wearing such amazing clothes…

From what I had the chance to see in between shots the photos are going to look spectacular.  Below is model Alexandra who gave all the girls major hair envy! All photos from her portfolio.
