The tall, skinny, Russian beauty from Slides @ Paris works often between Europe and Asia so we decided to do a shoot together while she was in town.

Makeup was done by the amazing Elen Kergoat and hair by Yu Nakata. These two ladies were so patient and I really loved the work they did together on this shoot. They really knew how to translate the idea that I had in mind. Because of a last minute fiasco, I had to pull together my rusty styling skills and come up with all the outfits myself. It’s been such a long time since I have styled for anything but I think I did pretty well for being out of practice!

I have to say even though I’ve already overused my apartment many times for shoots (this being the fifth time and counting), it still ranks as one of my favourites.

My next plan, to get a bigger apartment. Donations, anyone?

With Andrea Fonseka as the face of Malaysian International Week 2009, we wanted to go with a few grand, over the top outfits, and some equally as glamorous but much more wearable day to day. Just going from one designer to another took two full days with the insane KL traffic and everything. Obviously we got snap happy and recorded our days in photos.

Teresa, the designer for Gallo had her 18 month old daughter in the studio that day. When I first saw the adorable girl, I thought she looked like she was wearing designer baby clothes. After a while I realized that Teresa actually made her a baby version of the collection for Autumn/Winter 09! How cool is that? I doubt the baby versions are for sale though.

Altogether we collected over twenty outfits but used about fifteen. The back seat was filled with so many clothes to the point of not being able to see the rear window. The total value of everything was probably more than the car itself! And this is only one of the very few things we do with much more to come…
