We wanted to backdate to the August photoshoot we had for our Winter 2012 collection titled 'Box of Ku' which is now store. The photoshoot took place in Sydney, we live in Canberra which created a last minute logistic headache but it was well worth it. This was the second photoshoot we had done with Yie Sandison. The collaboration was so successful the first time we were ready to try it again.
Everything was going as usual, our designing time was really tight so we were sewing up until the last minute (literally while our model and driver were packing the car - and yes, as ridiculous as it is neither Cesca or I drive, so Cesca's lovely sister, Till, drove us to the shoot). Hair and makeup started early in the morning with Cesca and I trying to figure out how to wrap Navchaa's (model) head in 4mts of fabric. How do you turn any idea into reality...that can endure garment changes...and quickly?
As we started setting up for the shoot we were extremely nervous as we hadn't actually seen the pieces all together or even realised what we had designed because the process happens so quickly. Luckily we had a team of professionals who enabled the magic to kick in. Thanks to Linda West, who did the make up, Navchaa our amazing model, Yie and her side kick Gordon. Also to the people who can calm you down and do important things like get coffee and stand in as the model for the test lighting - thanks to all these people who put up with us!
Below are some backstage photos taken by one of our friends Suzan that capture all of our worried looks perfectly.
