Dressed-up: from Colorful Eclectic to Realistic Edge

In working with the multi-talented Sean Watson, I had another opportunity to collaboratively style a colorful photo shoot of vintage finds.  A variety of hues, textures, and decades are represented in each ensemble creating a layered and dynamic look.  

The first three garments are meant to inspire a doll-like impression.  The fourth look in this series loses its innocence and rigidity of the doll, as an edgy yet still playful female emerges.


Wearing:  
Grandmother's Gold Purse 
Great-Grandmother's Fur Belt
1960's Ruff & Cuffs
1950's Gloves
1980's Wool Skirt
1940's Leg warmers
1980's Shoe Clips


Grandmother's Gold Necklace
1960's Sheer Tent Dress with Rhinestone Cuffs
1990's  Purple Unitard
1950's Velvet Bow Hat with Veil


1960's Feathered Hat with Brown Bow Detail
1950's Silk Shorts
Quilted Jacket (unidentified decade or designer)

*The first three looks (minus the shoes) were created with less than $25.


1970's Lingerie Top
1940's Silk Scarf Detail


I had a blast working with Sean and his effortless creativity.  Photography, graphic design, video collages, online magazines...you name it.  Watson's artistic passion drives him past typical bounds.  View his work at http://www.swatsonphoto.com/.
