fashion eagle

starting before 11a, today was spent styling and sketching. i pulled outfits, played with my hair and makeup, held poses. 'shua worked the floor, ran down his lead, and stretched his watercolors.

kyra stopped by around 2 to drink tea and document our progress. these are some of her shots.

(sorry, my apartment doesn't belong on the Selby.)


zac posen dress, gucci heels

lisa fonssagrives shout-out!

vintage cape, cons, tattered stockings

noah snapped my rings w his sweet instamax 


hard pose. no yoga


we warmed up with pencils, but moved onto watercolors. here's a sneak peek!





at the beginning of our session, i could only hold a shape, even a simple one, for about 12 minutes. as the day wore on, i lengthened my endurance to nearly 45 minutes. heels didn't pose a problem. (pun!)

i intend to use the photographs to try my own hand at fashion illustration. nothing i do would come out as proficient and accurate as 'Shua's renderings, but looking cartoony is alright.

around 8p, we broke to order italian and catch up on the latest in couture. one thing we might do in tandem, next time, is work in parallel on runway journalism. we also spent some time discussing richard haines.

really good day. totally looking forward to the next collaboration.
