This summer is just another chapter

11/10/2011 by chicquero

The tans will fade, but the memories will last forever . The great fashion photographer Zee Nunes, shot this clean poolside editorial for the first issue of Harper’s Bazaar Brasil (welcome to Brazil HBB, we love you). The Brazilian gorgeous, 33 years old model, Shirley Mallmann looks fierce in a classy look with a sporty vibe. I love the color blocked, applied by the stylist Renata Correa.

Snow as a luxury you wear

11/01/2011 by chicquero

Teen Vogue Ski Vacation Snow day: sporty geometric winter knits. Ski bunny, with sleek boards, chill sweaters, and furry boots, you’ll be itching to hit the slopes (or at least look like you are). I love winter fashion shoots, the colors in contrast with the white landscape are phenomenal, these reminds us our stay in Lake Tahoe. I wish we had snow in Brazil, so we could rock on board. Oh btw, the bright lipstick is sensational. Photographed by Raymond Meier. […]

Au Coin de ma Rue

10/28/2011 by chicquero

Au coin de ma rue – At the corner of my street “Why are my eyes drawn by these people? I don’t think it has anything to do with beauty or esthetics but more with their general attitude. They all have an ‘intangible something’ that reflects into their expression. It’s like their body and face embrace entirely their personality. Anyway, all these lines to express that I was often frustrated not to have my camera when I needed it. Now, […]

Louis SCARFace

Louis Vuitton´s Artistic Collaboration with Francois Cadiere Everyone knows a scarf is a piece of fabric worn around the neck, or near the head or around the waist for warmth, cleanliness, fashion or for religious reasons. They can come in a variety of different colours, textures, prints and fabrics.  I am obsessed with scarves – they’re so versatile and can really add a special touch to any outfit. Scarves can be tied in many ways including the pussy-cat bow, the square knot, the cowboy bib, the ascot knot, […]

Express yourself.. through make-up

10/01/2011 by chicquero

Express Yourself. (through make-up) Ben Hassett in a fabulous shoot for Vogue Germany, Circa 2008. Following the advice of Madonna in their “Express Yourself” editorial. Hassett captures model Karmen Pedaru ‘expressing’ herself with playful and, at times, pretty silly poses and gestures. I imagine it must have been a fun shoot for Pedaru who got to smoke, make funny faces and smear the vibrant and bold make up which was applied by make up artist Maxine Leonard. I love make-up parties, let’s […]

Color Blocking is not for amateurs..

09/17/2011 by chicquero

Conor Cronin They like to say that Color blocking is the mix of large chunks of color, Cronin sets the bar for color block. Love  his way to paint solids in an interesting shoot. The statement is colorful, loud and artistic. We are like chameleons, we take our hue and the color of our moral character, from those who are around us.

Pac Attack shoot, photographer Solve Sundsbo, 2008. I saw this editorial years ago, I really love Sundsbo work, this one was inspired in the classic arcade game, Pac Man.  “If Pac-Man affected us as kids, we’d all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music.”
