Behind-The-Scenes: The SS12 Campaign Shoot

This has been the most eventful week here at Biko.  The day before we launched the SS12 collection online (here), we went on set to Michael Alberstat's studio for an impromptu photoshoot for the campaign.
I had the most lovely and talented team, and I couldn't be more grateful for all their hard work that made this shoot happen.  A very special thanks to creative director Karolina of The White Room, photographer Michael Alberstat, makeup and hair artist Anna Nenoiu and Ford model Mackenzie Loop. Also, thanks to my assistant Carly Blackman, as well as Michael's assistants!

Now - on to some behind-the-scenes goodness:

Michael's studio is just a dream. I would kill to work in these surroundings.


Wardrobe and makeup.

Prep time.

On set - Mackenzie workin' it!

We love her! We were oooh-ing and ahhh-ing at the computer screens the whole time!

Two shots from the bunch. Mackenzie is a true Biko girl!

A well-deserved lunch break for the team. Great company and a successful day!

Colour Is Happiness

Getting inspired for the warmer weather, I know it's soon to come...
For the first time, colour was a big driving force behind the SS12 Biko collection, which will be available online for purchase in just a week and a half.
