Fashionable FACES...
Casual Fridays Posing: Nick Verreos prepares for his "Faces: Iconic Portraits of LA Fashion" close-upLate last year, I was asked to partake in this wonderful opportunity to be photographed for the
Faces: Iconic Portraits of Los Angeles Fashion, an ongoing series of books with portraits capturing some of the fascinating people who work for or on behalf of the Los Angeles fashion industry. The entire idea was produced, edited and directed by
John Arguelles, President at Lloyd Klein Couture, and a man with an inspiring vision and an unstoppable love of LA and it's Fashion.
James Galanos
"Volume 1" of the book--due out next month--will feature over 150 of these people--a wide range of 'subjects", from Retailers, Editors, Factors, Stylists, Models, and of course, Designers. It is dedicated to
James Galanos, our very own Master COUTURIER and was photographed by
Steve Anderson. The first video of the portraits is up and features LA
fashionistas from my very good friend, California Apparel News Editor-in-Chief
Alison Nieder, to Fashion Historian
Sylvia Sheppard to LA Times Fashion Critic
Booth Moore to designers
Randolph Duke,
Sue Wong and myself.
Sue Wong For the shoot, John asked me to just show up--and I did after dealing with back-to-back pattern-making, draping and design meetings--When I saw how FABULOUS and made-up Miss
Sue Wong looked (ALWAYS a DIVA--take a look a the video below!), I now wish I would have at least put on a jacket, a dress shirt and a tie!!!!
