Throwback Tuesdays: Gia Carangi

My boyfriend and I watched GIA last night. Seen it a couple times before, and honestly the movie is a little cheesy. Not sure if it's suppose to be cheesy because it's based in the early 80s, but the soft light vignette filters and sultry sounds of the saxaphone make it hard for me to take it seriously. All bad cinema aside, the story behind Gia Marie Carangi is quite depressing. She was so beautiful, and so young! Below are some of my favorite images of Gia, including the infamous photos by Helmut Newton that put her on the map. Enjoy!

STYLING:
With years of visual merchandising and retail under my belt, wardrobe/ prop styling became natural for me from the jump. I put together cohesive looks for editorial shoots, commercial/ advertising, agency tests, look books, and fashion shows. I also offer services for one on one image consultation for special occasions and events.

PRODUCTION:
As a wardrobe stylist I've fallen into the role as a producer for a number of photo shoots. I pull talent such as models, photographers, videographers, hair & makeup, and designers. My diverse background and people skills can produce teams and make magic happen. I also produce fashion events, look books, and press/ sponsorship kits for designers and retailers.

CREATIVE DIRECTION:
Whether you need to develop a theme or a storyboard for a photo shoot, fashion show, or for your clothing line I can help. My personal philosophy is this...aesthetic is everything. I have a performance arts/ graphic design background which has allowed me to tackle the details such as developing brand identity, overseeing a photo shoot, editing, and tightening up the loose ends for the overall product.
