Queen of Hearts

Photos by Danielle LeBrun

This painted silk dress designed by Kaj.Ani is so incredibly cool and versatile.  It can go from sweet and feminine to edgy girly grunge with black ankle motorcycle boots and a fringe black shawl.  Ani is a very talented designer who hand made this lovely dress, and you can shop her site here.

Here is what the photographer (and my sister) has to say about this look.
This was our (Andy + Me) favorite look and scene! We pulled inspiration from Sophia Coppola films like Marie Antoinette, the glossy pages of Nylon Mag, Alice in Wonderland and the concept of a 90's hilltop tea-party. Jackie captured the vision perfectly in her styling and natural sugar&spice personality! We had quite an experience during this scene - the sun was literally setting as we frantically designed the set and captured shots - but it came together perfectly right at magic hour. It was an exciting rush shooting this look - a perfect way to end our 90s Rad Bad Valentine LookBook!

Happy Valentine's Day! Hope your and heart day is filled with love today and always!

Photography by Danielle LeBrun (my rad and talented sister)

This look and concept was heavily influenced by the skater craze of the 90s, a nd believe it or not I was even a skater girl myself in the 90s.  I didn't do much other than chill and skate around on my awesome board with Venture light trucks, but back then I thought I was pretty rad whenever I was skating around.
Danielle helped assist styling this outfit to make sure it was pulled together and fit well with the other looks in our motion picture lookbook.
I love these crazy floral print tights and how the Lulu*s sparkly insane platforms give the outfit a very skater-Harajuku feel.  This part of the video was all about having fun and being young and crazy and care free.  Back in the day we all did a lot of hanging around parking lots, going to 7-11 to get slurpees and hanging with our homies...but most of all having fun together.

In case you were wondering... the dude in the photos is the mastermind cinematographer/director behind our motion picture lookbook, and he also happens to be my sister's loving boyfriend...Hi Andrew!

Stay tuned for one more set of stills from our Valentine inspired video.

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!
