wardrobe fittings, and the BOTTEGA VENETA dress that got away . . .

-
no secret,
one of my favorite parts of shooting
is when we get to the fittings.
-
it's like playing dress up with life size barbie dolls.
almost literally.
-
and i've learned from experience,
that when traveling to buenos aires,
it's often best when you have a vision to have your amazing stylist in the states
(cue : bic owen)
pull ALL the looks,
rent, borrow, buy, or steal,
and bring it with you.
-
why?
-
cause they can't get THIS stuff
down there:
-


-
the driving gloves along in dove gray?
the dolce lace?
the vintage white?
the models were lucky i gave them a chance to put it on.
-
so.
you put it all in the film planet "warehouse",
bring in the girls,
and get going.
high to low,
basic to full on
until you have a story,
told in clothes.
-


-
and it rocked.
-
you'll see most of it when the commercial releases,
but there is one dress
that "got away".
-
as sometimes happens,
in the middle of our location day a torrential monsoon 
came out of nowhere
(after the riot police.  and the protesters.  not making this up.)
and you lose three hours,
and one of your favorite shots / outfits.
-
it's just a dress . . . there's always another spot . . . but oh, what a dress this was.
-
bottega veneta fall 2010.
-
ex. quisite.
-
-
alas.
next time, b.v.,
next time.
