story behind the story

“Whilst in Brooklyn I met with a stylist, Jennifer, who not only worked in a vintage store, had a perfectly fitting old-fashioned and girly aesthetic. We decided to shoot in her home, which immediately created the tone. The combination of everything from the rolling racks to her own cute touches made me feel as if I was in an editorial already. We decided a blonde was the right look for the light, pastel and airy feel of the story. Anastasia was the perfect fit and brought the shoot to life with her cheeky and playful attitude. We all crammed into this mini apartment and the heavy rain held us ransom for hours. To top it all off Jennifer had a hairless cat who was slightly adverse to our company. We attempted to have him in the shot but he didn’t co-operate — hissing and lunging for petrified Anastasia.” – Rupert Tapper
