Let’s talk about Michelle!

I don’t often single out a client, but my session with Michelle was just incredible and I want to tell you a little about the inspiration that helped us create this setup.

Ah – the jumpsuit.

This iconic shape has stood the test of time is a fascinating piece of fashion. It literally began as a suit for parachuters and skydivers to jump from planes in, quickly becoming the staple attire for some of the most dangerous professions.

In 1919, the jumpsuit was adapted to be an everyday wear piece by Italian artist, Thayat. He envisioned creating something that was easy to make and wear. While his intention was for it to be worn by the working class, the upper class quickly picked up on the new design and ran with it. The first high fashion jumpsuit was introduced in the 1930’s by Elsa Schiaparelli and the rest is history.

For this shoot, Michelle was dressed in a 1960’s inspired bold floral printed, wide-legged, sleeveless jumpsuit, accented with a side-swept tumbling curls hairstyle by stylist Amber Snare.

Makeup artist Bryon Glick gave Michelle a cut crease with sharply defined eyeshadow, inspired by the popular makeup trades during the 60’s. The golden highlighter brought in is a fresh shade from the 2017-2018 season, as seen backstage at Fashion Week in New York City.

The photos from this session were featured in Surreal Magazine April 2018 Issue.  http://surrealbeautymag.com/

SALYSÉ Magazine http://www.salyse.com/ is a photography magazine, featuring beauty, fashion and conceptual editorials.

We do not seek to define beauty and fashion with one narrow idea, but with myriad viewpoints. Vintage is right next to newly discovered designers. We are looking for creatives that push the envelope, take chances, and disregard the status quo.

SALYSÉ Magazine is about sophistication, authenticity, with a touch of eccentricity.

 

 

–  The majority of magazines require that photos are exclusive and unpublished
–  Always include the credits- names of all people involved in the production, the photographer,  model, makeup artist, hair stylist, wardrobe stylist, and clothing designer.  You may want to add social media links as well so they can tag your business in their post.
