Jajo Couture Fall 2012 Ravens and Rage

While everybody is working on publishing their spring 2012 collections, designer of JaJo Couture, Janean Johnson, is ahead of the game by getting her fall 2012 collections out.  Last Saturday, I was very lucky to have this chance of working with Janean on this photoshoot "Ravens and Rage".

According to Janean, the Ravens and Rage collections was inspired by a bad mood, you heard it right, a bad mood.  The raven is drawn by shiny objects that it takes back to its nest and of course rage is an emotion that all women have felt at some point in their life.  The collection takes “seeing red” to a fashion level.  With this in mind the collection took a turn into a chic Gothic look with blacks, reds, grays, teals and metallic shades and combining a bit of deconstruction to give a slight sinister feel to the clothing.  We all like to dress according to our mood and just because we might be in a bad mood does not mean we can’t look fashionable at the same time.

Before the photoshoot, Janean and I have disussed the makeup look for the models.  Since it is so Gothic, we decided that we should stick with the color scheme of the collection, red, black and grays.  Janean loves the black lipstick and a couture eyeliner.  Thus, I kept the face look very simple yet flawless with only some contouring.  I did the extended eyeliner on Teresa. And I also did the eye brows the same way.  She looked wicked awesome!!!  This is one of the best couture look I've ever done by far!  Loving it!!!
