Torch Magazine Photoshoot

About a month ago, I did a fashion photoshoot for Fullerton College's magazine, The Torch. I styled the looks and wrote an article about personal style to go along with it. It was such an accomplishment for me, as I hope to be doing that for a living someday. Here are some of my favorite photos. Enjoy!



















Photographer: Kristen Graza (Krash Photography)
Models: Ashley Pellegrini, Bridgette Beverage, Valeri Velasquez
Clothing: American Vintage, my closet, Valeri's closet.
Location: Rooftop of the Starbucks/Kinko's building in Downtown Fullerton

Irving Penn 1917-2009

I had no idea that one of my favorite photographers ever died last nonth. Irving Penn died October 7. His photos will never stop compelling me with their power, elegance, and originality.



















I hope I don't have to post anything about someone dying again this year.

I'm Back!!!! and RIP Daul Kim

It's been nearly 1 month since I have even logged in to post a blog entry. Wow. I've been so busy with life and school and job-hunting.... I've forgotten about my virtual style journal! Anyways, I'm back, and I hope I won't be on another unexpected hiatus until I am invited to stay with Nicolas Ghesquiere in Paris to collaborate on a Balenciaga collection. (Which probably won't happen anytime soon.)

In the near future, I wil have a long post containing nothing but photos and breif captions, because I haven't let you all see my Halloween photos OR my Chicago photos as of late.

Recently, the fashion world has been mourning the sudden death of model Daul Kim. She was a beautiful Korean model who was definitely on her way to top model-dom, and definitely a model breaking the racial barriers of the fashion world. I thought she was just stunning in every photo she took, as well as in her personal life- she had a wicked sense of style.





Her personal style





You will be missed, Daul.
