Always Accessorize.
Today we are off to Newport and Jamestown, Rhode Island for our spring 09 lifestyle shoot. In past shoots Shannon and I have always accessorized our line with our own bags, shoes and Jewels. We were told before our first shoot that we should hire a stylist... Not only could we not afford one, but we did not understand why this would be necessary. We were creating clothes for ourselves, why wouldn't we know how to accessorize and style them? Well this time we're stepping it up (we figured we had to match the step up in loca) and called a few fellow designers to ask to borrow their goods for our shoot. The shoes are all still ours... However, this winter we did a trunk show with Kelly of KEP designs, and Kristin of Kage Handbags. Not only did we adore these girls, but we have long lusted after their goods. The churn out absolutely fabulous products that couldn't match our look more perfectly. So if you don't already know them, check them out. And look for them next spring when you get to see the pics we're taking this weekend ;). In the meantime we'll be talking ourselves into putting the samples back in boxes to return and not keeping them for ourselves.
