Now Online via Through the Looking Glass

My dear friend and all around sweetheart, Maggie Martine, recently launched an online store for her Austin-based Through the Looking Glass. These one-of-a-kind Kulturegeist tops and many other treasures are now available on the interwebs!  You can click on any picture below to link to the site.

The Secret Garden

Katy Shayne has always been one of my favorite collaborators.  Recently, she and I worked on a shoot with unusual textiles that we used to build the backdrop and look for each phase of the shoot.  These images made it to Issue 8 of Haunt Magazine, and I couldn't be happier with how they came out! Thank you River Liana for being our muse!

I spy the beautiful Callie Hernandez looking quite stunning in this month's issue of Cosmopolitan!  She is wearing her Kulturegeist sheer cocoon jacket from the Rosewater editorial we worked on together a few months back.  Photo by the adorable Shelly Neuman of ATX Street Style.

Schipani Suit

 

Over the past few weeks, I've been working on this special summer suit for super badass artist Xavier Schipani.  It was my first-ever attempt at menswear, and  I couldn't be happier with the final results! Thanks Jackie Young for the photos!

Rosewater

A few months back, I was honored to design robes to be used in a film by my friend, Callie Hernandez. It was an honor to work with such a talented team of artists to help create this concept video. Today it launches in the new issue of Bleach Online. You can check out the video and editorial below:
