I truly LOVE doing creative photoshoot but I like to take my time and give it my best so I don’t do too many. But when the amazing Jukka Suutari contacted me to be part of ANHEDONIA, I couldn’t refuse!!
It was NOT going to be an easy job, It was a big shoot with 7 models, each needed a nude and a black look. Yep, 14 outfits in total.
My biggest challenge was that the 7 nude looks needed a lot of work.. Everything had to look worn, dirty and old!! AND since none of that is in stores.. I had to do it myself starting with white Fabric.
First I washed all the white fabric, shirts, tank tops, bras & underwear.
Then, I made A LOT of tea using about 40 tea bags! I added the tea and more boiling water in the sink where I had my fabric. I used black tea bags to have that instant brown vintage look and it gave me immediate results!

Once I was happy with the colour, I dried everything in the dryer at high heat setting to set the stain.
When dry, I sanded all the fabric, especially the edge using different sanding blocks. I used the fine 200-grit and even the corse 60-grit. Sometimes, I use my sanding machine! Depending on the area and the fabric type.
Since I wanted a dirty look, I added some dirt, movie dirt. I absolutely love aging garments and breaking down clothes. But for me, its like art and the fabric is like a blank canvas..
Finally, I bought 7 pairs of the cheapest heels I could find. I taped the sparkly outsole, the heels and I protected the inside. Then I spay painted with nude paint, sand the them up a bit and added some dirt! Voila! :)
