Behind the Scenes at De*Nada's AW2012 Lookbook Shoot!

This past weekend we had our long awaited lookbook photo shoot for De*Nada's upcoming a/w2012 collection! As you can see from our behind the scenes photos, the theme of this lookbook has a very dark and grave victorian setting, almost a bit vampire-ish.

As my home loft studio was transformed into the photo shoot set, we started the morning off with somber piano and violin instrumentals to set the mood.  Despite the gloomy theme, my team maintained high energy throughout the day. As we were all hard at work, my dogs Mia and Kobi kept us in great spirits as they lounged around the studio space. The photos were shot in various areas of my work/live loft building which features white brick walls, velvet brown curtains, a freight elevator, and our wooded stairwell. Danielle, our female model, wore an amazing dark purple handmade tool skirt, created by our stylist Carla of TPWP Guide.  In all, the shoot ran smoothly and was a great success!

I am so grateful for having the pleasure of working with such a stellar team.  I would like to give a huge thank you to our photographer and stylist (Marshall and Carla of TPWP Guide), makeup/hairstylist (Akemi Kanazaki), models (Danielle and Christopher), intern (Sue), and my wonderful husband (Kelly).

Check out De*Nada's Instagram or Twitter for more behind the scenes photos.
Stay tuned for the debut of De*Nada's a/w2012 collection coming soon!

Thanks for the support!

Lookbook Inspiration Week: Sofia Sanchez + Tar Magazine.

Hey Everyone!

As you know, this week's blog posts are geared towards our preparation for De*Nada's A/W2012 collection lookbook shoot.  Well... it's finally happening this weekend! Our inspirations have included editorials, photographers, and photos we love.  In my search for inspirations, I came across an editorial in Tar Magazine by photographer Sofia Sanchez.  Sanchez's photos tends to use bright backgrounds, but maintain a mysterious feel to her photos. This particular editorial features an amazing Dutch model named Anna de Rijk.  I love how Rijk's eyes create a bit of mystique, which makes each of these photos so compelling.  We hope you love this editorial as much as we do!

With all this preparation, we are definitely ready to take on this lookbook shoot! Wish us luck and stay tuned next week for a behind the scenes look at our photo shoot!

Lookbook Inspiration Week: Swedish Photographer, Dysell.

Borrowed From: http://www.dezeen.com/2010/02/01/clothes-by-lamija-suljevic/

Good Morning!

As mentioned before we are preparing for our lookbook photoshoot for De*Nada's AW 2012  Collection. We are working hard to come up with ideas, therefore we are still on the search for inspiration. Here is a great designer and photographer I just found that I would love to share with you. 

Today's inspiration comes from photographer, Emma Jonnson Dysell.  The lookbook featured is the aw/10 collection from designer Lamija Suljevic's.  Both designer and photographer are from Stockholm, Sweden. Suljevic's designs are absolutely enchanting to me.  Her collection unfolds an elegant and romantic Parisian vision which she describes as "touching the delicate border between beauty and brutality. " Her designs are a bit playful with a mix of avant-garde details and inspired handworks.  The designs feature braiding,  heavy knits,  embroidery, pleats, and lace, with each piece being hand made.

Dysell's photography style seems to be elegant and simple with much emphasis on the shapes of the clothing, hair, and body.  I really like the lighting in these photos, which highlight the textures and shapes of each outfit and create a sharp shadow in the background.  The spotlights draws attention to the elaborate hand work that Syljevic features. The colors are slightly muted to add to the dark mood of the photographs.  

I find the simplicity of Dysell's photographs to be inspiring.  Minimal backgrounds help to emphasize shapes and designs. With the appropriate lighting, I like how she creates the shadow to add to the balance or color which add to the background. 

Always,

Lookbook Inspiration Week: Photos We Love!

Hey everyone!

De*Nada AW2012 lookbook shoot is finally happening this weekend and with all this preparation, we can't wait! As you've read from our previous posts, we've been preparing for our lookbook shoot by looking for photos, editorials, and photographers we find inspiring. We are still brainstorming ideas for our lookbook, so to keep our creative juices flowing, this week's posts will be dedicated to lookbook inspirations.

Below are a few inspiring photos we selected.  We love the dark color pallets, the calm feeling, and minimal background of these photos.

Here's a New Playlist from our Intern, Sue!

Hello everyone!

Once again it's Friday! It's Sue - De*Nada's intern, and here is another of my Friday playlist! Friday playlists are my favorite post of the week because I love music and I love sharing what I've been listening to.

I love listening to cover songs sung and/or sampled by contemporary musicians of today, as well as finding the original version of that song.  Listening to original tracks contribute to the expansion of my taste in music by introducing me to the original artist that I would have never heard of otherwise. It's also fascinating to hear where the inspiration of that cover song or melody came from.  How the musician transforms a cover song and makes it their own is inspirational!  With that being said, this week's playlist comes from some of my favorite originals from popular songs of today.  Do you recognize any of these songs?

ENJOY!







Until next time,  Sue (intern)

Love this Lookbook! - Cosmic Girl.

Photos From: Mark Thirouin

We at De*Nada love to share our inspirations! We are currently preparing for our upcoming lookbook for our aw/12 collection.  As we prepare, we are working hard to formulate ideas for the lookbook that are both different and inspiring.  Recently, I came across this great editorial that emphasizes on shapes and textures. 


This week's inspiration comes from french photographer, Marc Thirouin. Thirouin's work ranges from high fashion editorials to commercial advertisements.  He splits his time working in Paris, France and Oslo, Norway. His work is often influenced by the various places he lived and portray his inner world, which he describes as being "mellow and strange." 

The title of this editorial is called Cosmic Girl.  It was featured in Sva Magazine, a biannual fashion magazine in Norway.  Thirouin has a tendency to use unique and bold props in his photos, and nothing less is expected from this editorial.  All the geometric shapes seen in the photos were made of paper by set designer, Romain Lenancker. 

I found inspiration in Thirouin's use of geometric shapes and textures.  The model's voluminous ensembles are complemented by the 3-Dimensional props, which really contribute to the cosmic theme of the photos. I like how the shapes in the photos are emphasized by the simple backgrounds.  Texture and shape play a huge roll in the design process which can be easily identified through the designs created here at De*Nada.  

Always,

Sue (Intern)

Style Spotlight: Simple and Chic.

From: Chictopia

Today's Style Spotlight is from Chictopia, a fashionable online community connecting style seekers to tastemakers. This photo is from DIANAROGO. I chose this photo because I love how she looks so effortless and chic.  Plus, her cowl scarf look great with her outfit! Her cowl scarf reminds me of de*nada's Cowl Cable Knit.  We offer a variety of cowl scarves in different styles and colors.  Cowl scarves are great accents to add to any outfit. Though this look seems to be a fall look, it can easily be brought into the upcoming spring season. 

Until next time,
