Photos captured and edited by my lovely sister, Danielle LeBrun

These are the first set of stills from our Rad Bad Valentine motion picture lookbook.

 In case you missed you can watch it here.

The outfit and concept for this particular look was heavily influenced by the flower children of the 60s, 90s teenage youth, the glossy pages of Nylon Magazine, pondering thoughts and escaping into nature. 

Danielle did a great job capturing the spirit and mood of the concept for this look.

Want to know what the photographer, Danielle has to say about this look?

Danielle has a background and schooling in graphic design, which has influenced her sharp eye for cutting edge trends.

Here is what Danielle has to say about this Runaway Love concept...

This look took inspiration from the moodiness during the 90's, which was very cool, bold and romantic in an understated way. The 90's felt like a new-age Renaissance - fashion, music, food, culture - everything was in a perpetual remix at the time.

Fashion was totally reinvented too. Celebrities like Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain took very traditional prints (i.e. floral, stripes, dots, plaid) and presented them with a dark and fresh twist.

This is essentially what we tried to capture in this outfit and film segment: romance that evoked something mysterious, yet adventurous and new. Kind of like a Maxfield Perish painting or Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet - only with a quirky, modern edge.

Check back tomorrow for the next set of photo stills from the motion picture lookbook!

Can you believe this awesome sparkly dress is from Forever 21 and was ONLY $24?

Paying to park for 2 hours in San Francisco costs more than this dress!

That is what is awesome about some trends and fashion pieces--that some things don't have to be expensive to look great.  

This sequin dress is the perfect example-- it fits and looks just like so many other sequin dresses out there that are SO over priced.

I can't help to think of the Billy Joel song 'Piano Man' with the piano in these photos.

The lyrics to this song are SO good and it's the best karaoke song! ...

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Makin' love to his tonic and gin

He says, "Son, can you play me a memory
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes."

la la la, di da da
La la, di di da da dum

Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us all feelin' alright

And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessman slowly gets stoned
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinkin' alone

XO!
