It was so much fun to prep for this job! I wanted to have colourful and fun patterns .. My vision came to life when I got my hands on the Moschino Cheap and Chic stone age collection from one of my favourite boutique and online store North of the 42nd. They have amazing pieces and I was like a kid in a candy store pulling from this story! 

Check out the story that got published online in Vulkan Magazine!

The wardrobe on the Canon L Series campaign

I was very fortunate to be part of an amazing team and to work on a brand new Canon L-series lenses campaign. It was a pleasure to work with the brilliant Joey L., he is an amazing photographer represented by Westside Studio. Working with people like that truly inspire me! The energy on set was amazing, we had such a good crew! I was actually kind of sad when we all went home after three day of magic. 

I love the result so much that I decided to share some of my behind the scene images and wanted to share some wardrobe information.. I am ALWAYS getting asked, where is this shirt from? Where is this jacket from? Seems like everyone want to know where everything is from.. and it just happen that I love telling people where I shop especially when I get great Canadian designers involved! So after receiving some styling direction from our brilliant Art Director Kyle Scotland form Dentsu Bos. I contacted my favourite stores and visited an other.. 100 to pick the perfect pieces and I am super happy with this stylish result!

His hands are kept warm in the stylish Richmond leather gloves by Quill & Tine. The camera strap is designed by JMB Canada and was shipped from beautiful Quebec City just in time for the shoot. Thanks Rhonda and James :)

Even though we lost Michelle Argyris in the fog in the picture above, she is looking stylish in this Danier black leather jacket. Underneath was a grey sweater from Buffalo, skinny jeans from Fidelity and some FRYE boots. She is also wearring the super stylish Trinity gloves from Quill & Tine.. My favourite gloves company! Necklace from Armed carried at Shopgirls.

Her raw crystal quarts earrings are from Daggar Jewelry and her necklace from Jen Ellis both available at Shopgirls. The brown leather camera straps is designed and made in Toronto by the lovely Jacqueline for Le Jolie Laide.

For our last day, we had a magical location.. It was beautiful and my favorite outfits! :)

Add sexy to your home with stone tile.. and this advertising campaign

When I am on set, so much is going on in my mind and I always need to be focus ready for what I have to do next.. BUT sometime it's really hard to concentrate.. and stone tile was one of these jobs! It was such a fun project to be part of and for obvious reason.. everyone was smiling. All day.

The amazing photographer and my great friend Nikki Ormerod is the talented photographer that capture the sexyness out of these 3 "tile installers".. Who thought installing tiles was so.. hum hum fascinating :)

Now for anyone interested in the wardrobe part.. the idea was that the clothing should blend nicely into each sets with the same color tones as the tiles. So I visited Westside studio to see the amazing sets that was getting built in studio and I left with a few very heavy tile samples.. I went shopping for Dark brown for Maciel, dark grey for Eric and light grey everything for Steve B. 

Here are my hard working men.. looking perfect! 

Here is Maciel Mendes from Sutherland

And to make it look even more monochromatic, I spray painted all the tools overnight in my back parking lot! Here is some picture of the tools that I taped and painted. I had ladder, buckets, gloves, measuring tapes, sponges, tool belts for everyone and all kind of other tools that is normally used while installing tiles. It was so much fun to do! 

Look out for the billboards around town and in the August issue of House & Home, Azure and Style at Home.
