URBAN OPULENCE

Hello cuties!

Today I bring you a fashion editorial were I collaborated as a fashion stylist assistant few months ago in London. It was a hard work , doing this job it's not always easy specially when you are running up and down all around this huge city picking up all the clothes and accessories. Plus it had a lot of handcraft work for the preparation. But at the end, all the efforts have been worth when you see the result. Rossella Vanon is a skilled and amazing fashion photographer. The job she did in this editorial blow my mind away!

The pictures were published in PAUSE Magazine, being one of them the cover of the issue.

I hope you like it! Here the link of the publication, enjoy what's left of this lovely sunday! (;

Good morning guys!

I guess you are all very excited since today it's Friday and we have the so-waited weekend in front of us. Today I'm sharing with you a fashion editorial that I published some time ago in Blanc Magazine. That issue had an Asian theme so as you can imagine lots of the fashion editorials featured Asian looking models. We wanted to be different and decided to inspire ourselves by the Indian and Arabic stories of sultans and concubines, beautiful dancers and youth treasures kept in harems.

For that occasion all the clothes we used were designed and hand crafted by myself, which I really enjoyed. It's truly fulfilling to imagine a thing in your head and being able to bring it to live. Those skills that I learn with my fashion degree are, I think, the most precious ones to me. I had the pleasure of working again with Anneke Necro in this photo shoot. She is an alternative model from Barcelona who is very dear to me for every time I work with her I can see on the result how she totally understands the concept and makes hers my clothes. The pictures where published under the name Opium and were very popular among the viewers.

Have a lovely weekend !

Kisses,

Clara

 

Leyva CASH

Hello and good morning!

Today's post is another sample of one of my old jobs. This session was my humble tribute to one of the figures that I most adore: Johnny Cash. In this editorial we wanted to pay tribute to the singer from Nashville, a man who touched the hearts of millions of people and that even today, 10 years after his death, continues to inspire...

It was made a year ago, with a great team, people that i particularly enjoyed working with. I hope you guys love it as much as we do, have a lovely day!

Kisses from London,

A DAY IN THE PARK

Good morning! I hope you are enjoying your sunny sunday! I'm about to go out for a walk, you never now how much will sun last here in London.

Today I'm showing you another sample of my published editorials. That job was published in ADON Magazine and it's one of my favorite editorials :) Probably because the model was Michi, Michel Tromp, on of the nicest models I had the pleasure to work with! We met on a catalogue shot, where he was modeling and I was ironing, jeje, and since then we worked together a few more times. He was the perfect person for modeling what I had in mind, this kind of Klar Kent character, a handsome and shy guy, dressed with designer Charlotte Llamas collection, which made the project original and wowing! It was a collection fully made of checkered clothes. I selected some garments and mixed them with other clothes from more commercial brands like H&M and Mango to make the result more wearable. 

We named it "A day in the park", for the place the pictures where made: Ciutadella's Park (one of the oldest and most important park in Barcelona). 

I hope you guys like the result!

"WAPPING BLUES"

Hello! Today I will like to show you one of my favorites works. We did this fashion editorial last November here in London, in one of it's amazing scenarios, Wapping. 

I chose a street style clothing, to fit it with the place. I wanted it to be looking defiant and sexy, the model, Jana Balcazar, it's got a lot of sensual potential already so we played with that and gave a nostalgic touch to the looks (so it won't look to hard). We decided to call it Wapping Blues.

I had the pleasure to work with the photographer Gemma Albors, a colleague from Barcelona, who did in my opinion a stunning job!

The editorial was published on the printed version of I'm Image Magazine, March's 2013 Issue.

I hope you like it!
