vain and vapid – winter 08/09
as promised, here’s what I’ve been up to:
I’ve just finished shooting the Winter 08/09 collection for Vain and Vapid. it was SUCH an incredible experience. a few months ago, after completing a set of custom garment tags for Julie, the talented designer behind Vain and Vapid, I proposed the idea of shooting her next collection. despite being half way around the world from each other, we collaborated to shoot the Winter 08/09 collection.
after multiple emails back and forth, patiently waiting beside my mailbox for packages with new garments, planning the location for each outfit, and braving the rain that is oh so typical of Portland, I am so SO pleased with the outcome.
the model and friend of mine, Leslie Butler, did an amazing job. she’s a natural behind the camera and surprised me when we began our first shot in the lobby of the Ace Hotel. despite being nervous, she rocked it. and the photos show.
Julie is an amazing gal with a lot of talent. first up in her shop tomorrow will be a few of the Rivington dresses. check out Julie’s blog for updates. there are more garment shots to come, so stay tuned!
and thank you Julie for the amazing opportunity!!!
