Givenchy Pre Fall 2012

The Givenchy Pre Fall 2012 look book really stood out to us. We love how the composition of the photography echos the silhouettes of the clothing: structured, upright and strong. Our favorite element is the boots, with their slightly slouchy shell; they look like uptown elegant riding boots. Other highlights: asymmetric pants, giant bows, pops of color and prints.

A New Cross for Redeem - Fall Winter 2011

When we were asked to help host Redeem’s Fifth Year Anniversary party we didn’t hesitate to say yes. We were especially excited when we learned an exclusive collection from Colombian line “A New Cross” would be featured. There is so much to love about the unique designs of Nicolás Rivero and David Angel - the unisex styles, innovative & avant-garde silhouettes and handmade details of the collection are all exceptional (available only at Redeem). See our pictures of one of the best fashion presentations to ever be featured in DC (more pictures of the unforgettable evening coming soon):

De*Nada Autumn & Winter 2011 Lookbook

These De*Nada lookbook shots are much more than pretty pictures to us. They represent a major milestone in the creative development of The President Wears Prada. Not only were we responsible for the photography and styling of the shoot, the TPWP photographer also renovated and decorated the house within which the shoot took place. So what you see here is not just another photo shoot in a pretty place, but the culmination of more than a year of work! 

We hope you enjoy the photos as much as we enjoyed making them. Plus you should click your way over to De*Nada design’s online store and place an order for one (or a dozen) of their fantastic handmade scarves, by doing so you will be supporting one of the most creative families in Washington DC!

Models (in order of appearance) - Stephanie McArthur, Mason O’Sullivan, and Marina Petrenko:

The principal of De*Nada design (and DC resident) Virginia Arrisueño and her husband Kelly Towles have become great friends and working with them on this endeavor has been an amazing creative experience.

In the coming days we will be posting more images from this shoot, so stay tuned!

A Cocoon in the Snow Storm

A few days ago some friends and I went to the Worn Magazine mixer at Kushi - and no, the snow storm didn’t stop us. It was the first mixer that Worn Magazine has organized, but the beautiful and indefatigable Nicole (editor of the magazine) promises us there will be more to come - especially since this one sold out within days of announcement. I had a great time meeting new people in creative fields and catching up with old friends… I am excited for the outcome of future mixers as a platform for collaborations, new projects and simply to see my favorite fashionable people in the city a little more often.
