The agency wasn't sure if it would be too risque, but there was only one way to find out. I think what followed is absolutely brilliant, and it was a super fun project to be a part of. Using the tagline "More bang, less buck" we styled two models, essentially getting caught in the act after a photo shoot. All the right areas were covered, but it was still way too racy to put on a subway poster, or the back cover of AM New York! So the agency, Johannes Leonardo devised an ingenious plan, of having the picture be a puzzle. If you photographed the puzzle piece and jumped on the twitter feed, you had a chance of cracking the code!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvNYjAI5DwTsJghG-hgR2uboxJBSGAAjogG2_J3sMZd_nvFLvPX232VlUUYd73wXM3Viy11WRPwYnw1dfcCNPGsHHlmnR50gJDOHkhyDU4_i9q7RGoeCnbsrM50KLUriGm0V89p_N8ooo/s1600/Picture+4-1.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 304px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvNYjAI5DwTsJghG-hgR2uboxJBSGAAjogG2_J3sMZd_nvFLvPX232VlUUYd73wXM3Viy11WRPwYnw1dfcCNPGsHHlmnR50gJDOHkhyDU4_i9q7RGoeCnbsrM50KLUriGm0V89p_N8ooo/s320/Picture+4-1.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464951987559443890" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />What comes next is even cooler.

Their ads are always super cute and feature real live New Yorkers. The shoot was awesome and the ad looks great, but it wasn't nearly as cool as what was in store for us next!<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg72_y3-UnJMIfhid3kZl75v0LxuLJChOl4qd11vuSdE6oTJTj3PN_98fuXOQQN4edGA8BJMjnr92al4zjffHj9Lu9RmYKLrr0-TyT6zPexSiU9Kf6Ll1fcvBJhrP2_Ks5jN8nPjzVspQ/s1600/Picture+5.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 301px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg72_y3-UnJMIfhid3kZl75v0LxuLJChOl4qd11vuSdE6oTJTj3PN_98fuXOQQN4edGA8BJMjnr92al4zjffHj9Lu9RmYKLrr0-TyT6zPexSiU9Kf6Ll1fcvBJhrP2_Ks5jN8nPjzVspQ/s320/Picture+5.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464949213147121666" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxohjRaLHFKnUfPsmrY9QO04bkaFxHO59KalXCTkKFPpVm_xHGACgqyF00xQuKTgY_ZZQ5D5UYpdRGn0pYnSo7wp0SlqNhS3W1zEQ9ijDkZ_Eg6bjOeE3uAF8Ky49rATx6WY4U6t36zZM/s1600/Picture+6.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 308px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxohjRaLHFKnUfPsmrY9QO04bkaFxHO59KalXCTkKFPpVm_xHGACgqyF00xQuKTgY_ZZQ5D5UYpdRGn0pYnSo7wp0SlqNhS3W1zEQ9ijDkZ_Eg6bjOeE3uAF8Ky49rATx6WY4U6t36zZM/s320/Picture+6.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464949073249749266" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggu0024kuIMcgw4sA605IEZ3UdT6qAwIem4jNiwpm8ynnBXWtFCYjVMFVjKDvb9FCmgv60TIgxIyxCE0p3ibT0LUdHsCjZunMBEgOfMDU32e0VDpYOGJqS3aX08XAq6RIbj_tv9QyaFm4/s1600/Picture+7.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 316px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggu0024kuIMcgw4sA605IEZ3UdT6qAwIem4jNiwpm8ynnBXWtFCYjVMFVjKDvb9FCmgv60TIgxIyxCE0p3ibT0LUdHsCjZunMBEgOfMDU32e0VDpYOGJqS3aX08XAq6RIbj_tv9QyaFm4/s320/Picture+7.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464948925151129602" border="0" /></a>annamariastyleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02312744867142301995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399260768306367305.post-82900042143488322242010-02-15T14:45:00.000-08:002010-04-22T14:55:39.580-07:00Barneys Spring 2010<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBYz8HBSW5IrxYnPDe71AQl_lE5X1D0MZ7JOB2w6NCUiNZJiUmgicpRq0y_9lZIwIwUFxlmPt_Rhoxk5NDHf4kaLWmnxZ3w680FwDeNFS66fFlnlK30AM-UHrCBOxW3raeaeeWrLolwMo/s1600/1729G.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 233px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBYz8HBSW5IrxYnPDe71AQl_lE5X1D0MZ7JOB2w6NCUiNZJiUmgicpRq0y_9lZIwIwUFxlmPt_Rhoxk5NDHf4kaLWmnxZ3w680FwDeNFS66fFlnlK30AM-UHrCBOxW3raeaeeWrLolwMo/s320/1729G.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463082678671447186" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMkAZvJ8T_O5k2M3u5yw7w11r26Pt3Iy__bemMKV1NHJmYHvIQ2ox42ZE8UfvmTwi-jc-Km5rYdTYOAcF4mJ1Eq_rhdc04UFDRqNIAt2Xe4GeFWDNNXNqwnGUMWBSV_FQKjoIU72s0Tfw/s1600/1651C.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 233px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMkAZvJ8T_O5k2M3u5yw7w11r26Pt3Iy__bemMKV1NHJmYHvIQ2ox42ZE8UfvmTwi-jc-Km5rYdTYOAcF4mJ1Eq_rhdc04UFDRqNIAt2Xe4GeFWDNNXNqwnGUMWBSV_FQKjoIU72s0Tfw/s320/1651C.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463082676210637938" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHAksAWJRm617LL88ZE5anw4BVhYl5XlAD0TXeI9sA9qSXNUPjfvnng9jfNuv06AtUX22YvBER2O20NXXpsW2kWDaCjlSVv7L0TDNy-zTev3KsbKljMLpl8AJQt7h9c7zR7JK47m32VBw/s1600/1598C.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 233px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHAksAWJRm617LL88ZE5anw4BVhYl5XlAD0TXeI9sA9qSXNUPjfvnng9jfNuv06AtUX22YvBER2O20NXXpsW2kWDaCjlSVv7L0TDNy-zTev3KsbKljMLpl8AJQt7h9c7zR7JK47m32VBw/s320/1598C.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463082668674984434" border="0" /></a><br />So heres a fashion shoot I did for Barneys, one my absolute favorite clients. It is always a blast to shoot with them. Amazing models, amazing artists doing hair and makeup. We always have so much fun, and the pictures are about as close to perfect as you can imagine!<br />That being said, this shoot was a real challenge, as we did it in possibly the worst snow storm we had all winter long. Schools were closed, cabs just slid sideways down the street, and by 2pm, the sky was just about black. But we stayed in good spirits, I mean on a Barneys shoot, how couldnt you stay in good spirits, and we worked until we'd gotten our shots. Whats great is looking at the photographs later, you have no idea what the day was like at all. Only that the images are crisp and clean and read spring in every sense!annamariastyleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02312744867142301995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399260768306367305.post-75005740985418442632010-01-22T14:35:00.000-08:002010-04-22T14:45:02.154-07:00Reebok- VIstoso Bosses<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAAo5gDXn_oFaxSZofYiFRixmgSV3c1ru8DkqDEqk_Vz1YgHGVs8HptQERRHbO8-6vP36zM0CJMrz1_fXsJFtEEK4Hi224evS1CtKdWM-Nb10u-nSlE2hfx3pp0bblADgA3xsyvxTRBCg/s1600/VistosoBossesFront.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAAo5gDXn_oFaxSZofYiFRixmgSV3c1ru8DkqDEqk_Vz1YgHGVs8HptQERRHbO8-6vP36zM0CJMrz1_fXsJFtEEK4Hi224evS1CtKdWM-Nb10u-nSlE2hfx3pp0bblADgA3xsyvxTRBCg/s320/VistosoBossesFront.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463080865669149618" border="0" /></a><br />I started out the year working on a fantastic project with Reebok and my favorite production company, Lockbox Productions. Vistoso Bosses are an up and coming female R&B group, they have a super cute, quirky sense of fashion, and they were super fun to work with. We had to transform an empty studio into a fake living room set. We shot stills and video, and Im posting this now, as Im starting to see the images pop up on sneaker blogs everywhere!annamariastyleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02312744867142301995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399260768306367305.post-69434399515885830512009-11-25T21:28:00.000-08:002009-11-29T21:52:23.770-08:00AOL Relaunch<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU-sGjkvmt4WyHBFYk78hXdO80bw-ogKffk756C4-TxZGHqF5hI24g8TRLvlP8upoL-CHLMW-NkGYQV9BdRCuSIwkJtY3wE635sEVwnU6kTdaSVWooX3ci32e91u7XauHYaj0vSTcB5zM/s1600/articleInline.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 61px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU-sGjkvmt4WyHBFYk78hXdO80bw-ogKffk756C4-TxZGHqF5hI24g8TRLvlP8upoL-CHLMW-NkGYQV9BdRCuSIwkJtY3wE635sEVwnU6kTdaSVWooX3ci32e91u7XauHYaj0vSTcB5zM/s320/articleInline.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409768200801441698" /></a><br />By far my favorite project I've done all year!! Again with my favorite agency Wolff Olins, because they are a branding agency and not an ad agency things just work really differently. Jobs are bigger, the scope is infinitely more grand, and the presence ends up being way bigger than just a single ad! So yes, AOL splits from Time Warner next month, and to really make that separation kinda clear, they are going with a whole new look. I did props and wardrobe, again my absolute favorite is to look at an image and see my hand in the whole thing, not just say a sweater, or a knick knack in the back ground. The project was written up in the New York Times which made me so happy!<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.blogger.com/NYTimes">http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/23/business/media/23adcol.html</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>I got to do some rad stuff for the job.

I dont think I can legally tell you much more, other than I had a blast!! I know that they recently just announced the contestants, so yes, I did get to hang with Daryl Strawberry, Bret Micheals, and Rod Blagojevitch. Oh and Cyndi Lauper was there!! And I am sure with Bob shooting, our team will definitely win!annamariastyleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02312744867142301995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399260768306367305.post-51806080513845876672009-10-21T22:12:00.000-07:002009-11-29T22:22:18.616-08:00Lacoste<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbkiSNOn6NhePkgqnfFSc_h5mo7ice20D2SFIkLuSaD-w1s2aJl6FTxqFIsXxy3WGzRbU7DqKLufCciIEPH_WXXWY9fXM1P1Ye7OcsDD-G38g_yswZFZkGHMT2iasVPTKXwdWW5fFLSAY/s1600/Picture+1.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 179px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbkiSNOn6NhePkgqnfFSc_h5mo7ice20D2SFIkLuSaD-w1s2aJl6FTxqFIsXxy3WGzRbU7DqKLufCciIEPH_WXXWY9fXM1P1Ye7OcsDD-G38g_yswZFZkGHMT2iasVPTKXwdWW5fFLSAY/s320/Picture+1.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409777854074067762" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />So I love working with brands that have a ton of history. There is always so much stuff you can pull from in their archives, even if youre only searching for inspiration. I got to do a fun holiday project for Lacoste, strangely enough it didnt shoot in summer, but much closer to to when it actually was going to launch. Theres a real limit to how you can style polo shirts, but I got to do a little art direction, and the photographer, my friend Theo, didnt object to any of my more insane ideas, specifically he green lighted proecting the images of falling snow on to our back ground. I definitely owe a million thanks to all my photo friends I called for technical assistance on this one! below are some of the results, or you can also look at <a href="http://www.blogger.com/lacoste">www.lacoste.com</a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw-piRrRNjuxyXOosNODKdGvkho0SqaI9qGCuAygITfrrY0l1A6059mUA70JvWcZRzaap3zj7r_1gJKWhPfg9rQZuE5_dhpK_FCz1aXMcEd4-cQJyw7ygyD63-D7Lv9Mw6c5er8lzUrgw/s1600/Picture+4.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 175px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw-piRrRNjuxyXOosNODKdGvkho0SqaI9qGCuAygITfrrY0l1A6059mUA70JvWcZRzaap3zj7r_1gJKWhPfg9rQZuE5_dhpK_FCz1aXMcEd4-cQJyw7ygyD63-D7Lv9Mw6c5er8lzUrgw/s320/Picture+4.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409778053825819778" border="0" /></a>annamariastyleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02312744867142301995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399260768306367305.post-1000805714429079242009-07-29T21:20:00.000-07:002009-11-29T22:12:13.876-08:00keeping me busy!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnkUmcmI4_wpu2cvnEl_o21plJnGDlz4dlDAUjs7hP6QCkX2WK5PDhCwU5R8m0GT-DWhMHcC42PgMCLH2PMNYFESwGHWPcN9JILePox78gnePsfbk8Y9CTVNKHC1eSyMfe_NOJ_0VYjtg/s1600/15432_161826279741_7840324741_2513215_4727252_n-1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 234px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnkUmcmI4_wpu2cvnEl_o21plJnGDlz4dlDAUjs7hP6QCkX2WK5PDhCwU5R8m0GT-DWhMHcC42PgMCLH2PMNYFESwGHWPcN9JILePox78gnePsfbk8Y9CTVNKHC1eSyMfe_NOJ_0VYjtg/s320/15432_161826279741_7840324741_2513215_4727252_n-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409775155429883218" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />So not as fun as making the video, but it definitely kept a roof over my head was a combined wardrobe and prop job for a new UK client called Fashion Union. I would say its sort of a cross between Urban Outfitters and Forever 21. Pretty young and trendy and super affordable. Of course they wanted to shoot iconic New York, so we were shooting on 5th Ave, on the Brooklyn Bridge, on top of Rockefeller Center. Basically in the way of everyone!!! But the pics came out lovely, I promise to post more as they come up!!

They normally have a real hard kind of sound, but this is their mariachi side project, totally serious, not tongue in cheek at all. I was charged with making all these light up suits work! Fortunately I was not in charge of making the electric work in time with the music, that was someone else's department entirely. The thing I love most about bigger motion sets are there are infinitely more jobs and departments and available hands, making your job as a stylist so much easier!!!<div><br /></div><div>Anyway, I had a really lovely time working on this. It kept me inspired and happy all summer long. Interesting side note, it was done on a real small budget, I mean what isnt these days! But I kinda thought they'd blown all their money on that rooster. Professional animals always manage to be the most handsomely rewarded 'talent' on set. But I was completely mistaken! This rooster came from a roadside stand in LA, and after starring in the video, went on to live a happy and noisy life with the venue's doorman.<br /><br /><br /><object width="500" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/S1uihI8UOM4&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/S1uihI8UOM4&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="315"></embed></object><br /><br /></div>annamariastyleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02312744867142301995noreply@blogger.com0
