"FLY Girl": a girl who knows what she wants and goes for it. She does what she wants and doesn't care what anyone says about it. She's sexy in every way and doesn't take crap from anyone!

We came up with the FLY GIRL concept because we wanted to showcase a grittier side of the many ideas that keep floating in our heads. The overall theme of this shoot was urban inspired chic with hints of futuristic and quirky vibes. We shared some hair and makeup ideas with Megdi (MUA) and Justina (Hairstylist) that would really complement the clothing because we really wanted the hairstyles and makeup to elevate the concept. We also wanted to feature a model that would be able to pull off the looks we had in mind. Ideally, we wanted a female model that would embody a mix of sexy, quirky and cool. Sam introduced us to Paige and the minute we met her, we knew she would be perfect as our "Fly Girl". As you can see in the images, she embodied everything we were looking for! We got together again with our super team of Sam (photographer), Megdi (Makeup Artist) and new friend Justina (Hairstylist) and together our powers combined!

As always we thoroughly enjoyed working with each other and really loved how the images turned out. We believe in the power of a good team and plan to continue to challenge each other during our collaborations. So let us know did we pull it off? What are your favorite images?
