We knew pretty much from the start that we wanted to do a campaign style series using bulky sweaters, blankets, scarves, etc. I was on board to do styling in addition to my usual duties of hair and makeup so it was up to me to find these articles in the middle of summer. Our first thought was to do neutral makeup with bright colored clothing. However, it was too early in the season to find a great variety of anything along the lines of outerwear. After much frantic shopping I finally struck gold with a few clearance racks and some yardage at a fabric store; the shoot was still on track! I will say, though, this was probably the cheapest shoot I have ever styled. I was able to purchase everything for under $30 and I have some great knit pieces to boot. Stay tuned; I'm sure they will be making an entrance in my wardrobe once our wonderful, crisp fall days arrive.
Since we were working with a much more neutral palette in terms of styling Kyle wanted bright, bold, editorial style makeup. We ended up working with 4 basic color schemes and color placement, some more bold than others but all equally beautiful and artfully blended.
