Fashion Shoot = fun!

'Backstage' fun among the crew on the set that I did fashion styling for over the weekend in beautiful Vancouver.

Beauty trend: Eyebrowless

The New York Times reports that the early-90's look inspired by waif model icon, Kristen McMenamy, is bringing back an old trend in beauty with her cover shot of VOGUE ITALIA: no eyebrows. As I gear up preparation for styling a 90's-themed shoot this weekend, I've been poring over inspiring looks from the eyebrowless era, they follow below and feature Kristen.

I'm not sure if the eyebrowless trend will sweep the mainstream as it seems many women are still only finally beginning to embrace a slightly thicker (not quite 'bushy') more-80's inspired brow. Besides, it takes very good bone structure to get away with being eyebrowless, maybe save this freakish trend for the freakishly beautiful among us?

fashion in berlin? how ideal!

This is one of my dearest friends, Jennifer Ann Gilpin, a Montréal-based clothing designer, featured here in a photo taken on the weekend at the fashion tradeshow, IDEAL, and posted on the streetwear blog, Stil in Berlin. Jennifer's wearing her own garments here and the ones hanging on the rack behind her are also from her most recent (and brilliant) collection which, I happened to do the styling for. Her collections are the perfect symbiosis of the stylish and the conceptual. Here are two of my favorite pieces from the new collection - a black jumpsuit with adjustable leg length, and a morphable dress/shrug/cape in stretch twilight gray.
