Photo shoot in Japan





We took these photos a fifteen minute walk from my home in a tiny Japanese village called Ginoza-son. It was a beautiful day, but extremely hot. Luckily, Okinawa has one of the highest number of vending machines in the world per capita, so cold beverages were never too far out of reach! We loved incorporating the distinctive terracotta walls and marble cut slabs as backdrops for my new Japanese inspired collections. The day culminated with Liz (the model) rescuing a tiny, homeless and adorable kitten that was trying to stay cool underneath a car parked nearby. Thanks to our friend Holli, the kitten ‘Boomer’ now has a good home!
The makeup artist Ayesa did an incredible job with Liz, using a very neutral palate with a sun-kissed bronze glow. It photographed beautifully, even when the shoot moved to the water.
