POLARIZED

This was the first shoot I took part in with the intention of getting published. “Polarized” was a collaborative project between makeup, hair, and styling students at John Casablancas Institute.

 

The biggest challenge we encountered  was that our group was shorthanded. We had five models, makeup artists, and hair stylists - yet only 3 fashion stylists. Here, I took on an extra model and pulled double the number of looks as were initially required of me to make the shoot day successful for everyone.

 

Our aim for “Polarized” was for the looks to be sleek and classy without coming across too matronly. To execute this vision, I pulled pieces from a variety of stores, vintage shops and national brands alike. We wanted to try to use pieces that were traditionally meant for one purpose in more unconventional ways.  

 

We were successful in getting published in Selin magazine and my looks made the cover. This was an overall positive and rewarding experience.
