I had the opportunity to meet Grace(SS) on the Gold Coast in Queensland after her gig with GA. You know how when you start chatting to someone and instantly feel a humble connection? A chilled feeling, like you could say anything, even something peculiar and she would totally get it? Same wavelength you know? Well this is how our friendship kicked off...
Grace had mentioned the next week, while she was in Sydney, that she would need a stylist for a fashion shoot coming up in Melbourne. Of course I launched at the opportunity and next thing I was flying to Vic to meet up with her, and further onward, our journey with the Spook Mag crew. It took awhile to get to the studio but once there, it was all go! We had just over 2 hours to get some great shots in before it was off to sound-check. So I whipped out my dress selections, Meesha from UK Style waived her MUA wand, photographer Ben Simpson clicked and tested, the Spook crew jazzed about effortlessly(love a good functioning team!), Dan mack'd out on the sofas and Grace kept us laughing with some great stories!
The dresses I decided to use are a designer label named EZIS, designed by Andrzej Pytel. The pixel and vertical stripe patterns through the chest to midriff sections are roll printed microfibre, organza silk across the upper chest with the solid black lower section being a fine woven sheen cotton. Perfect for still and film projects.
The dress moved freely as Grace went about kicking the crap out of the set, ha ha brilliant! Sounds funny but believe me when I say 'there was luggage flying everywhere!'. The concept was based on an artist whom is moving and journeying through their music career, on the pathway and traveling to greater heights... hence the luggage.
Next thing we knew it was 2pm with it looking like not enough time for the second shoot before sound-check. We made it to the Palace in good time, just enough to meet up with photographer Nicole Cleary, but not enough to search for a location as well, let alone the shoot. Luck would have it that the technical crew were running behind, so impromptu it was! The shoot turned out perfect. It took about 10 mins to create what would be one of the best shoots I have ever worked on, and it was perfect!
Great day, great team of people and one beautiful saint. Heaven like.
