Wedding Style Cover Fashion Shoot

Wednesday, January 18th, 2012

I always LOVE working with  WEDDING STYLE Magazine!!

Now that the magazine has appeared in print, we finally get to share some of our favorites

It is ever a joy to work with my dear friend Grace Ormonde, who always likes to push the visual envelope. And also the fabulous

Tracy Trouf, who makes it all happen – and who is also an amazing event planner.

Below the image which was selected as the  cover shot. The gorgeous Brazilian models were just great to work with.

The setting for this shoot was an old warehouse … the juxtaposition of the raw industrial space to the high elegance of couture.

Bohemian Beauties, Hippy Chic and Family …

Tuesday, January 10th, 2012

One of the best parts of my Christmas break is seeing my large, beautiful and totally eccentric french family.

Allow me  to introduce you to my  sister Daphne’s kids.

Without much a do … Alix of Bohemia … fashion and clothing designer extraordinaire.

After spending 2 years wowing Hong Kong with her style and designs, Alix recently moved to London.

She is a visionary, creative soul, world traveler and all around tres chic IT gal …

Visit her blog for an abundance of inspiration : Alix Of Bohemia

All of these designs are available for purchase, contact her for details.

Alix and I were talking about shooting her first major collection in an exotic location

and then I had the idea to do a sort of  “Royal Tennebaums” theme.

In the beautiful house they grew up in, with all the siblings.

This is her little sister Olivia who is leaving NYC and heading  to London UK! Yay!

The beautiful thing about Livi is that she has no idea how gorgeous she really is!!

This is Caleb, the youngest,  a prefect at Choate Rosemary Hall.

He manages to be  cute, creative, smart and quirky all at the SAME time.

And then there’s Cyril, who is dashing and elegant and so misunderstood … he’s a  PICES after all …

Cyril is living and working in Paris, taking a break from St Andrews but mostly breaking a lot of girls hearts …

And this is Daphne, my amazing beautiful creative sister and the the mother of all these gorgeous kids!

Daphne is a ceramic artist, fabric and jewelry designer, architectural interiors, culinary maestro … the list is endless.

She is truly an artist …  in every pore of her body … from the color she chooses to put on the walls to what she prepares for every meal.

I am so thrilled that she is moving to Rhode Island …Yippee!!

Alix has a way of combining items that you would not  normally see together and yet she merges them flawlessly.

We just got back from a few days in New York City with Golf at his Tantawan studio.

Until my fashion site is up I wanted to share a bit of my other work that has been keeping me nicely busy.
