Summer Rayne Oakes photo shot by Razz

oh yea, on my way back from a quick chill with Franklin, who happens to be a boy from my hood…or at least a bike ride away. We just finished up some portrait shoots for a gallery show he is doing called “OTHER,” which is a series of black-and-white portraits of people of mixed ethnicity. The title is inspired by the check box on school forms, job applications, surveys, and whatever else is out there that requires us..No, no…makes us choose our race. World’s not so black and white anymore, is it? I’ll post up the scans and invite you to the gallery showing when it’s out! In the meantime, I’m laughing my butt off because Razz is sooooo funny.

Behind-the-Scenes of Lucire’s April/May "Behind the Label"

Sunday, February 11th, 2007
Aveda “Purefessional,” Dennis unleashes the tresses. Dennis flew in from Houston, TX for NY Fashion Week and worked with me on the April/May issue of “Behind the Label” prior to heading back home.Aveda only did 11 shows this year because so many designers chose to use fur in their Fall 2007 collections. There was a push from the socio-eco fringe movement, however, as seen in the SANS Collection, Linda Loudermilk, Edun and even Calvin Klein. We’ll be seeing more push across the ocean over at London Fashion Week with Wildlife Works, Noir, Manish Arora and the Esethica market.



Fresh updated look from make-up extraordinare, Lottie,
who was also the sweetie who took all the images.
Wearing bright green shoes was a requirement on this “green” shoot. From left to right: Jon (photographer); Branden (assistant); Dennis (hairstylist). Seriously, it wasn’t planned.
One of the final looks….coming in April/May!
