Hypothermically Speaking

Guy Aroch's crew at work.
Now known in the fashion industry as "The Cape Cod Sessions" the AW2010 shoot was a cold, harsh one.
Just the way we like it.

Scott Hill, visual merch extraordinaire and finder of all things pretty, just opened up "Old Village Hall" on 170 East 2nd St. You all needs to go there, now.

The third thing Scott ever said to me was: "I just wanna rock out dude"

When I grow up, I wanna be Scott Hill.

BIKES'N BLIZZARDS

The US Marine Corps cliché "Adapt, Adjust & Overcome" all of a sudden
came in handy.
Rock Harbor, AW2010 shoot.
Boys became men.

Hello Pretty

Textile swatch books from times gone by. I could spend an eternity at
this place.

Merry Christmas Honey!

Elsa Peretti's "Bone Cuff" for Tiffany. Charcoal Ruthenium.
Nailed it.

Rock Harbor / Backstage at Cap'n Cass

Backstage at Cap'n Cass' lobster shack in Cape Cod.
Epic place.

The Mothership

The motorhome that took us to Cape Cod to shoot the AW2010 campaign. I'm from Sweden, I know what a blizzard means, but this was silly.
Blizzard, Burgers, doesn't matter, everything's bigger in the States.
The driver was this 400 pound dude, "Israel from Israel".
I don't think he'd ever seen snow before.
He was laughing the whole time driving, especially when he overtook the plowtrucks ahead of us..
Me? I saw my life pass before my eyes, thinking I would never see my kids again, or have a Porkslap for that matter.
