Behind the Denim Shoot

I'm often asked just how it is that we come up with ideas for shoots and looks. Inspiration strikes from the craziest of places -- and also from the usual ones.
(This Another Magazine tear was one of the references I pulled from when styling the denim shoot)
Looking at old Prince album covers can send me off on my creative cloud dreaming of the perfect outfit. Likewise, rummaging through vintage shops, watching runway shows, and flipping through magazines have a similar effect. This week's denim shoot (which goes live tomorrow) seemingly combined all of those elements -- well, swap Prince for Marvin Gaye et voila! Here, I'll show you...

It all started when we got some awesome current Elliot pieces in. Then denim buyer Jessica came by with tears of the May Elle enthusing about their recycled denim story. I loved the mix of the denim with diamonds in the daytime. It was right about then that I saw this Another Magazine story with top to bottom denim that had this cool icy vibe that I really dug. It all reminded me of the Chanel spring '08 show with the all denim looks.
