This is easily one of my favorite works to date.
Duh, I love the images but there was is so much more goodness associated with this shoot. Obviously the model, Leomie Anderson, had the most to do with said goodness. She's gorge as fuck. She's hilarious. Her sneaker game is better than you and your street wear fuckboy friends' combined. She blogs too (CrackedChinaCup). And the icing on the cake is that she is also a Victoria Secret Angel. As in, she walked that legendary runway for this years show.
The rest of the team was eh. Just kidding. I worked with fashion stylist Memsor, which was so so so so so epic for me. Mark Edio was on makeup which was also epic because I actually was his assistant last year so it was dope to be working side by side with him. Sacha Maric was the photographer and it was my first time working with him. I LOVE how he operates his set. We had a blast all day.
I was stoked that when I mentioned I didn't want to add extensions to Leomie's hair, the team was down. I feel like mainstream magazines always want to give black girls the same damn hair. I love that Nylon is so NOT about that life. We did a top knot with a lot of frays using my Corioliss tools.
Ah. I'm getting excited all over again!
