Even though I’ve already been photographing AllSaints authentically found out on the street (see this photo of Becky), the company decided to set me loose with an iTouch to document street-style in line with the AllSaints aesthetic. Me being a professional photographer thought that was kind of silly, so I alternated between my trusty Olympus PEN and my brand new (to me) Canon EOS 1D.
I photographed Rhianna after the Oliver Peoples press breakfast wrapped up last Wednesday. I had only met Rhianna once before, at the Glamorama 2010 official afterparty. Before her blog Breakfast at Barneys went dormant (I’m not going to quit whining for at least another few days) it was one of my top 5 favorite blogs. Rhianna just finished up a lengthy study abroad program in Paris so her virtual absence was not without just cause. She was quite literally too busy running into Karl Lagerfeld outside Colette and taking adventures to Morocco.
As a former history major myself I am partial to fashion coverage that explores concepts and references. Rhianna delves deep into the collections and anything else that catches her eye, which makes Breakfast at Barneys one of the leading Chicago fashion blogs. She is now “officially” blogging again so please drop by her blog and welcome her back!
