Hey darlings....here is the new
post from our (now regular Nancy Girl contributor) guest blogger and
amazing stylist that I worked with numerous times when I was with Oyster magazine (and others)...MASAYO KISHI...♥
Happy New Year!
I
hope you all is doing well in 2013! Here is my new work to share with
you; finally it's out in the public! This is my Paris shoot which I
worked on last year for
BIG magazine and
irisvanherpen.com.
We shot it inside of an old theater, so you can't really tell we're in
Paris. Hopefully next time I'll be able to shoot the on location in
Paris (where you can actually tell it's Paris).
The
photographer is my favorite duo, Iolex. They created beautiful
theatrical lighting per usual. Iolex' works are tasteful. Our model
Suzie Bird was beautifully androgynous and has the perfect figure for
Iris van Herpen.
All
the Iris van Herpen pieces I worked with from this collection were
heavy but very delicate and fragile at the same time. They were like
one-of-kind museum pieces, obviously not easy to carry/handle. You can
imagine my preparation in Paris prior to the shoot. It was not glamorous
at all.
Iris'
collection has been shot on celebrities like Bjork and Lady Gaga and
for numerous high-end fashion magazines including W, Vogue…too many to
list…but you can check
their blog here. So I was very lucky to have several looks for my shoot.
Actually,
I don't get to work with such a creative artistic designer like Iris
often for my shoots in New York City. I was very impressed by her
craftsmanship, and it reconfirmed (to myself) why I got into fashion
back in the day/in the first place. Because a lot of these fast-fashion
and fashion e-commerce companies confuse me and make me question if
this is my ideal (fashion) industry...I was dreaming about this: how,
again, I believe it takes time (as in a long time in a career) to make
great creations no matter what you do or make...to reach a certain high
level of creativity. How many times/often do you/will you truly impress
people with your creativity (and creations)? This is how I felt at this
time.
