LIGHTS CAMERA...and STRIKE A POSE!

This past Sunday, Lola and Sophie shot one of their most colorful and structurally intriguing lines to date! The Resort 2013 Photoshoot took place in a modern yet urban style Pent House in the heart of Manhattan, aka the chic neighborhood of Chelsea. With sleek floor to ceiling glass windows in a spacious studio, our head designer's home easily converted into a professional photo set filled with lights, cameras, hair, makeup, models, designers and tons of Lola and Sophie's HOT Resort Looks! How did this production come together?!?!....read more to find out!

Lola: To set the tone for the shoot, we choose a simple and eye-catching hair style to reflect the intensity of the bright hues chosen for the season's clothing line. Combining the obsession with Ombre and the popular use of pink and purple dyes, it was necessary to stir up some tropical trouble in a trendy head-to-toe look. Hair stylist, Jamal Tadros worked with Strawberry Blonde and Hot Pink Colored Hair Spray with the addition of natural waves, giving our model's hair easy texture, movement and body. The use of a bright (Hot Pink) and subdued (Strawberry Blonde...almost lavender shade) colored dye, balanced out the shades of pink without overpowering our model's light, long and thick brown flowing locks. (note: the hairspray was washable)!

Sophie: The use of pink as a hidden pop of color paired well with an Angelic make-up pallet delicately applied by makeup artist, Douglas Otero of D'Style Makeup. With a natural skin-tone colored lip, Doug's "Mary-Poppin's bag of Make-up" proved to be an all inclusive look. Incorporating a pink high-light on the cheek bones, Doug kept the base golden and youthful with the "less is more" effect. Additionally, his useful trick of popping lipsticks into weekly pill capsules is a jet-setter's glamorous way to travel and new tip I picked up. A lipstick a day...is the perfect dose of medicine!

Lola: Sticking with the naturally hip vibe, the application of a silver grey matted painted nail tied this sexy glow together allowing Lola and Sophie's Resort Clothing line to do the talking. Turquoise, yellow, bright pink and orange jerseys turned this photo shoot into a LUSCIOUS Resort time!


Sophie: Accessories also played a part. Utilizing Giuseppe Zanotti Patent Color Block Sandal...TO DIE FOR...added a High-Fashion editorial feel as well as the Isabel Marant Suede Dicker Boot with white shorts courtesy of Chip and Pepper. (All accessories can be found GITO stores).

From Head to Toe and Hair to Makeup, our Resort 2013 Line is an infusion of COLOR, STYLE and GLAMOUR. It just makes you want to...STRIKE A POSE!
