Jean et Genie, ELLE France august 2012

In Paris in June I shot Elle France with the designers with Dean and Dan Caten of Dsquared. It was so much fun, such amazing clothes and styling, and gorgeous hair and makeup. It was a fun prom-dance theme... and a funny bit of information is that Dan and Dean are from Canada but both went to prom in Arizona where they lived during high school, like me! hehehe

Below are the published photos which came out August 3rd in Elle France. And following it are some behind the scene shots i took during the shoot.  :)

La Dolce Vita....

In November in Milan I did a beautiful retro editorial with Andoni & Arantxa... and now it has just been published in Prestige Magazine in Hong Kong and View of the Times in Spain and elsewhere. Beautiful styling by Michele Bagnara .... marni and yves saint laurent dresses... prada bodysuits... mui mui shoes... ahhhh all so beautiful!

i love the fact that everyone says, ooh, Sofia Loren after they see this editorial, and that i keep getting booked for these retro shoots... so much time and effort in the hair and styling, it must have been so time consuming to be a women back then. In the make up in these shots, the use a strong tape to pull my eyebrows up and back... with an elastic strin

g tied around my head and the wig... in photoshop the tape disappears and I look like i had a facelift!

April 3, 2012

I shot an editorial for Jalouse France.... the biggest magazine I have shot for yet... my agency told me it would be three photos in a story about jeans but it turns out the editors changed their minds at the last minute and the story turned into an 18 page editorial featuring me and two other models, Georgia Hilmer from New Jersey and Ellen Pinaffi from Brazil. There were now 12 different looks, each photo a different color background and theme. For the first three looks we had short cute black wigs on, and every look after that it was a race to change hair, makeup and nails, 10 times. The call time was at 9:00am and we finished the shoot at

12:30am!!! It was so much fun and the clothes were so amazing that I could have worked all through the night. The photographer, Jason Evans, shot the whole story in film which was the first time I shot for work with analog which was even cooler.... It comes out in the next issue in May so check it out!!
