One of my favorite movies is captured on 8mm film and stars my mother as a young girl, running through a sea of fashionable ladies, elaborate spreads of pickled foods and gin martinis! I recently began obsessing over the impeccable details of the garments from this era. The fashionista’s of the 1960’s (including: Edie Sedgwick, Jackie O, and countless others), oozed with a timeless sense of sophistication that I am envious of and has inspired my latest collection of party frocks!
Once I had a clear vision, I knew that Paul would be just the photographer to work with me on this project!!!
On Saturday, December 5th, with latte in hand, I invaded Paul’s north park photography studio with a dozen models, a rockin’ hair stylist (Rachel Stegura) and a rack full of sparkling dresses! Although the actual photo shoot only took a number of hours, the planning process for such an elaborate event began months ago, with countless hours spent in my dress design studio, the beloved library, and in the kitchen (attempting to re-create passable delicacies from this era!). The intense preparation for the shoot was well worth the effort, as all of the details, from the lime green jello-mold to the powder-pink cupcakes, aided in creating the perfect 1960’s style birthday party!
