Rain & Romance / Editorial Fashion Shoot
April 10, 2011
 
Models:  Derrick Zonca, Caitlin Gwinn, Asia Hairston
Hair: Lauren Lea
Makeup:  Mara Moss
Stylist:  Robere Lett / Affiliated Models Inc.
Wardrobe:  J Crew
Production Assistant:  Brooke Gorman
 
We met up last Sunday on a COLD, RAINY day in downtown Birmingham for what was planned as a spring editorial shoot complete with two "green" locations and an adorable little pooch.  Our "green" location was nothing more than a swamp so instead we turned Birmingham into a "Paris romance" scene with umbrellas and occasional rain.

We were a team of ten including the models, hair, makeup, stylists, production assistants, and me . . . quite a sight to be seen as crowds of passers-by stopped to watch and as we dodged in and out of traffic on the street.  Models Derrick Zonca, Caitlin Gwinn, and Asia Hairston braved the elements (it was 35 and windy!) in light cotton apparel most of the time, making it all look natural and effortless.  These guys were TRUE professionals and total troopers, definitely some of the best in the biz!

Special thanks go to J Crew of Somerset Mall for creating the wardrobe seen below and to Robere Lett of Affiliated Models Inc., without whom none of this magic could have taken place!
 
 








 
 
Detroiters!  If you think this is a familiar face, you're right!  Asia currently graces the March cover and has a full spread in this month's Hour Detroit magazine.  Check it out and watch out for this young dynamo as she makes her way to the top!
