Spicy Candy DC + South Moon Under Ocean City Lookbook Launch Party

So much work has gone into the Spicy Candy DC + South Moon Under Ocean City Look Book it’s hard to imagine the day of the launch party has now come and gone. We could not have possibly imagined a better turnout for the event. A line down the street formed before the doors were opened and clothes were flying off the racks all evening long. Helping the event’s cause was fashion polymath Dani Stahl (Nylon Style Editor-at-Large, Jewelry Designer, and TV star, etc). The energy and optimism at this event was palpable.  Thanks to everyone involved!

La Petite Marmoset Super Mercado lookbook April 2012

The craziest ideas are typically hatched when we sit down to eat with Katherine Martinez of La Petite Marmoset Vintage. Last time it was glitter. This time we dreamed up the idea of a photo shoot in a Latin supermarket. Leave it to Katherine to email us days later with “I couldn’t stop thinking about it and I decided to schedule a mini shoot…. Let me know if you are interested!” Needless to say we said yes.

Spicy Candy DC + South Moon Under
Ocean City Lookbook - Short Film

We travelled to Ocean City, MD with Carlis Alejandra Sanchez and Katya Ananieva of Spicy Candy DC to photograph and film a lookbook for South Moon Under. Carlis and Katya developed the concept for this film and styled the looks. The idea was to return to the roots of South Moon Under, a retail chain that first began as a surf shop in Ocean City. Everyone associated with this video braved the cold and extremely early wakeup times to make this happen. The result is a film that we feel captures the spirit of the collaboration. Enjoy!
