behind the scenes: rita tesolin

(clockwise from the left: sam, rita, ania, susana, elaine, arkan & juliana)

you should have been there. you should have seen the colours. touched the textures. i was thinking for a long time how i was going to give you a good preview of my shoot for the upcoming rita tesolin lookbook without compromising the final product, so i decided to give it to you in black & white. i would say that everything always looks better in black & white, and it often times does, except when what you are looking at are the gorgeous designs by rita. this is going to be her first lookbook, which makes me so much more honoured to have been given the opportunity to be a part of the experience. the team was amazing. juliana schiavinatto, arkan zakharov, susana hong and elaine jyll all helmed the project. everyone was so easy to get along with and with such amazing talents i was so lucky to have worked with and met them all. after a week of ups and downs, this was just the thing to uplift my spirits and remind me why i came to toronto in the first place. stay tuned. xoxo
