PolisArt's 'That's the Look' Editorial February 2015

No Ties Mangement model Rachel James has a very beautifully unique and ambiguous look and I was excited to get to style her for a strictly black and white shoot with her back in October, which happened to be published this month in PolisArt Magazine. I played around with various weights of fabric, mixing satin with cotton, leather with fur, or structured with soft; exploring different moods; minimalistic, retro, sultry seductive, and bewitching.

HUF Magazine's 'Denim Americana' February 2015

Model Ciara Turner of No Ties Management has been published twice with my wardrobe styling; here's the second editorial shoot that was published in HUF Magazine's February 2015 Issue called 'Denim Americana'. This concept was one of my favorites, featuring all denim on denim looks, some looking very 'America's Sweetheart' others more of a retro, rockabilly vibe, but all having a 'couldn't care less' attitude. You may wonder how denim on denim looks don't get monotonous and the answer is mixing various washes, prints, and textures. Denim is a definitely closet staple, and I made sure to every wash, print, and cut I could get my hands on. Enjoy!
