Behind the Scenes at the Elle Magazine Shoot




Elle Magazine--Decenber 2009, page 340. Photographed by Dan King. Styled by Joe Zee.





Endless racks filled with the pieces we just saw on the runway



With Marcus--check out his blog Smoke and Mirrors here!


Christian Louboutin madness






The Elle shoot was at Milk Studios in New York, I had previously only been there for shows, so going there for an actual shoot was the coolest. They kept the hair and makeup natural--can you believe I'm wearing little more than moisturizer in the photos?

I started out in an amazing Valentino dress, but quickly decided to change it for these very Bianca Jagger-esque high-wasted white Yves Saint Laurent trousers with the leopard pony-hair Louboutins, and paired them with an Escada blazer and striped Gucci blouse--all finished perfectly with the Hermes scarf and some amazing panther jewelry and an Ebel watch.

Everyone with Elle were the coolest people, so completely kind and down to earth--in the fashion industry, that is a rare feat. I can't thank them enough, this was beyond my wildest dream come true--thank you.

Damsels said...

i remember seeing you in the magazine!!! though if you dont mind me saying krystal ... i know your style a bit from following your blgo for so long and i think you would choose something a bit different ... .i just dont like the pants i tihnk .. they didnt fit perfectly which is something i like about what you wear is that it ususally fits just right.

i was so happy to see you on in the magazine

Rackk and Ruin said...

did you get to have much input when it came to what you were wearing?? Those Louboutins are amazinggg
