GAP 1969 Streetstyle Mood Board

streetstyle board FULL

Yesterday morning, I was privileged to receive a tour of the Gap 1969 denim design headquarters in Los Angeles, California. I plan to do more posts about this really cool experience in the days to come, but for now here are photos of the studio’s street-style moodboard for the Gap 1969 Fall 2011 denim collection. As a street-style photographer, this of course was my favorite feature of the studio. I find it incredibly cool that a major apparel company like Gap uses street-style images as a primary source of inspiration.

See if you can identify which photographer took each shot and if you recognize the fashion icons.

Oliver Peoples Hearts Chicago: Final Day (Wrigley)

closeup

For the final installment of the Oliver Peoples ♥ Chicago limited-edition sunglasses collaboration, the frames traveled to Wrigley Field for some iconic shots in and around the stadium. Lucky for me, my aunt and uncle dropped into town to take me to a Cubs game. Perfect timing! I got some lovely shots of the glasses outside of Wrigley Field after things calmed down. Although I did manage to snag a photo of the glasses inside the stadium close to home plate.

Bing! Pre-commercial Video

Jena and I [center] with our friends Nicole and Erin

In anticipation of next week’s release of the Bing commercial I made with my good friend Jena from ChiCityFashion, we both made mini-videos about our friends. Bing is promoting their new Facebook integration feature, which allows your friends’ Facebook likes to help you make decisions. Jena and I help each other make decisions all the time. 

From fun decisions, like which Proenza Schouler shoes to buy, to more serious decisions about the direction of our blogs, Jena and I help each other decide all the time. I know that you and your friends help each other make decisions constantly too. Bing is harnessing that social capital to help you make better decisions when searching on the internet.

I had a lot of fun making this video although I wish I could have uploaded my own song. Copyright issues aside, Pretty Lights is obviously the soundtrack to my life!
