Happy Halloween everyone! Remember when I said I was working on a big photo shoot? Well in honor of the best holiday of the year, I collaborated with the leather sculptors of
Artist Built, as well as an amazing team of models, hair stylists and make-up artists to create an ethereal yet dark Halloween spread using gowns from the new
Laura Whitney Couture bridal line (launching spring 2012!). I also created a few special pieces for the shoot including an Elizabethan inspired bolero, dramatic millinery, delicate paper wings, and I even got back to my corsetry roots and made an enticingly wicked "Kiss Me Deadly" corset with matching origami panniers! I must admit, it was such a pleasure to take a brief departure from the light romantic beauty of bridal to take part in creating deep dark imagery.

Quite possibly my favorite photo! She looks like she's up to something! |
Our images followed five themes to show dark spirits of many realms : A wicked Queen of Hearts, the vengeful Corpse Bride, an Angel with a devilish side, the jilted Flapper, and a Fetish Femme Fatale. With an impeccable team of models, airbrush techniques and makeup artist, talented photographer
Sasha Landskov captured the feel behind the the collaborative vision beautifully! T
hank you so much to Irma & Sienna of Mixx Salon, Soraya Hatfield of Pinup Stylings, and Dede Franks of Salon George for all their fabulous work on the hair and make-up! City Pages has also published a slide show of the full set of images so to see more,

Our amazing make-up artists painstakingly applied real gold leaf flakes to our fallen angel! |

Isn't this mask just amazing!?! It's like Cyborg crossed with Fetish! |
