fall print shoot, part the third -

there were beautiful vintage renaults left to shoot:






then on to our denim, and the sweetheart fit :



then downtown, and a few more shots of sweaters :


until dusk settles on the city :

fall print shoot, part the second -

day 2, the bridges of the arts district:


the kids waiting for the sun to move:


todd and lena :


daniel, moi, and emily :


nathaniel goldberg, the rather brilliant photographer, and our newest friend:


crossing for the next set-up:


ingrid and gabe. i KNOW. sigh.


checking the shots. or hiding from the sun. i don't remember. heatstroke :

fall print shoot part the first -

first day, the studio.
stage 4 at smashbox:



the beautiful energy of todd and emily:


the beautiful smiles of gabe, atong, and ingrid:



stan, caitriona, and natalia:


richard, perusing the fall television boards (work in progress):


and a surprise bday for maria, with her ineffably beautiful laugh;

ACCESSORY WAR!

i think the license was a challenge to richard and i :


so we brought our "A" games.
i went for the yellow rims and the lanvin bamboo, resin, and lacquer bangle:


but bitch came back with the motorcyle cop's cap, and the baby phat pendants:


i mean, how does one beat that?

chambray, sky, cobalt, hermes, trout -


it's an ode to blue.
devil in a blue dress :




an unreal renault,
dusty, but that heat-warmed sky blue :





todd in a classic cobalt. and matching hat. and gold scarf.


emily's cognac diamond bangles (bitch),
worn denim,
and classic hermes H belt in blue (hello, kitty):


and a karmann ghia. the owner had just bought it, and told us it was the original color. get this. "trout blue". LOVE :

shadows and silhouettes -

the heat has become oddly intense in los angeles recently.
that has led to hats and headscarves:


sunspots:


and sunflares:


and impressions on concrete:


and balcony ledge:
