A Little Tease

I'm bursting at the seams with excitement over the upcoming Biko Lookbook, to be released in just under two weeks.  Every day I take another look at it, my socks get blown off all over again.  It does help that I've got photographer Angela Lewis taking care of the photography and image post production, as well as creative director Karolina Loboda of The White Room taking the reins in managing the team, image editing and designing the final printed piece.  I'm so lucky to have these amazing talents working on Biko with me.  We've been dedicating much of this week to finalizing the images and layout, so soon, very soon you will see the final product.  I'm going to be bad and give you a little peek...  just one image, that's all.   These ladies are just DARLING!


In addition, I must say the Biko shoot wouldn't have been possible without the collaboration of wardrobe stylist Jessica Albano, beauty artist Sandra Yang, videographer Daniel Graf, Biko interns Carly Blackman & Andrea Crofts, as well as the beauty and photography assistants.  Thank you, my amazing team!

Stay tuned for the Behind-the-Scenes video, to be released in mid August.

West Coast Getaway

Wowzers.  I know it's summertime and that means we're allowed to take a well-deserved vacation, but I do whole-heartedly apologize for leaving you hanging for so long.  I'm sure you haven't been waiting on the edge of your seat for my next post or anything, but still, it's been a long time and I'm sorry!

In this time away, I took off to San Francisco and drove down the Pacific Coast to Los Angeles and back.  I must say, this trip was mostly for pleasure and not business, but of course I was very inspired along the way.  While I was silly enough to leave my camera battery charger in Toronto, I did snap a few pictures with my trusty new iPhone.  Here, see some of what I saw!
