As Seen In: Well Wed, Black & White Editorial Shoot

2 CommentsMonday • February 4, 2013 • by The White Dress

 Who dosen’t love classic black and white?!  Last Spring, I was inspired to style a black and white shoot that showed a dichotomy between masculine and feminine.  My vision was to combine juxtaposing elements like leather with tulle and a masculine tuxedo jacket with a girly skirt.  Of course, when I shared my inspiration with my creative industry besties and members of in WHITE, they took the idea to ANOTHER level!  Before I knew it, Tony of Datura: a modern garden was dreaming up a leather riding crop wrapped in flowers and collaborating with Candice of Jubilee Events to create a rocking tablescape!  Our friends at Valentino Tailors created a custom tuxedo fit specifically to the measurements of Jamie, our model.  We pitched the concept to Well Wed magazine and they jumped at the chance to team up with us to feature the shoot in their Spring issue, which just hit newsstands.  The next step was to find the perfect venue.  We landed on the New Haven Lawn Club because of the graphic black and white floors and the incredible art deco architecture that created the perfect back drop for this artful shoot. And true to form, the infamous Carla Ten Eyck captured the entire vision beautifully!
