Our first blog post. We're so excited! So can you tell that we are big Games of Thrones fans? A few months ago, we developed the concept of this "Winter is Coming" editorial. We wanted to showcase late Autumn/early winter looks inspired by the women on the show but with an added contemporary twist. We had specific ideas about how we wanted the wardrobe, makeup and hair to look like and we were able to communicate that to rest of the team. So while brainstorming wardrobe ideas for our model April, we kept coming back to a running theme of FUR, FUR and more FuR (well faux fur). Fur just naturally became the running wardrobe theme of the shoot. We teamed up with some pretty creative people for makeup, photography and hairstyling (see links below) and had such a blast on this shoot.
Creating this series and styling April (the model) was a lot of fun and we have to say she gave us some serious "Red Queen" vibes in some of these shots. Oh and did we mention that we met the cutest dog Homer while he was taking a walk (see below). A big thank you to Homer's owner who let us use him for a few shots (we wish we got his info so that we could share this with him). Anyway, here are some images and behind the scenes footage from the shoot...Great job to Samson for the awesome photography in this series. So what do you all think of the final results? Any Games of Thrones fans out there want to chime in?
