SOMBRE BY NATURE

A few months ago I helped style a photoshoot for my friend, Sidney Son. The photos were made available about a month ago and I managed to post about it on tumblr, but completely forgot about it here.

For this shoot, I was inspired by Japanese high fashion, mainly Comme des Garcons and Yohji Yamamoto, so I pulled a lot of black from my closet (yes, most of the clothes and shoes are mine). When I think of Japanese designers, I think of dark colors and tailored pieces and the flawless styling of fusing masculine and feminine. I wanted to portray those elements, but we were pressed with time so we couldn't fully achieve the look we wanted. But, we did the best we could.

My favorites have to be the last three looks, which I feel I have more ownership in creating them. All in all, it was a great experience and I really enjoyed it.
