The underlying them of the shoot was an autumn winter theme to help shocks the pieces designed and hand made by Naoise. Shooting on location fashion always poses a challenge, for the look myself and Naoise were going for to show case her clothing designs created a few extra challenges. However using some amazing kit from Elinchrom these were over come. The weather in Ireland at this time of year can be desperately poor, so shooting out doors would be a problem. With this in mind the location was chosen indoors, to give an urban feel and contrast with the clothing.
Each shot was taken using a single Elinchrom Ranger Quadra with a Portalite 56cm octabox for lighting. During the shoot we shoot Three looks most of which were shoot indoors at out first location in powers court shopping centre, while other were shot outside on the surrounding streets.
The first look was made up of a white shift dress with hand beaded japenese shibori detailing, a grey polo neck jumper under the dress, along with a pale pink fur scarf and the same shade pink swollen gloves. The neutral toned shoes were picked to finish the look but not detract away from the dress.
The second look was made up of a custom hand printed puffball skirt and a matching quilted crop top with knitted details, the look was finished off with some suede boots. This Look was a complete contrast of elements. The environment, the vibrant and intricate patterning on the dress and the hard, dishevelled walls of the building we were in really wok well together, all these element really helped make the dress really stand out from the backdrop.
For the third and final look we moved on to the streets. For this we also decided to shoot with two models to show how the clothing can fit a verity of body shapes. This Look was consisted of a maroon wool V neck dress with handmade japanese shibori detail on the shoulder and a custom printed panel. Paired with lilac trousers with a maroon stripe detailing on the side.
