Our director was Jeremy Stewart, he likes surreal, dark, magical, and fantastical things. Modern myths, folklore, re-interpretations of stories we’ve all heard before. You can watch the trailer here: https://vimeo.com/360911606

Nurture is an ad agency that creates and promotes online video campaigns for brands big and small. NASM is partnering with ZUMBA to extend its network that will explore what it means to be a team.

Nurture Digital hired me for the activewear fashion stylist position on this shoot. Their team produced this 4 days commercial shoot. Nurture is a first-class digital agency. They always exceed expectations when it comes to the final product and are always on time hitting deadlines, no matter how short the turnaround time might be. It was very exciting to collaborate with Nurture Digital on this NASM advertising campaign. I had a couple of days pre-production work to select and prepare all of the talents outfits for the shoot days. I worked in conjunction with the agency and video team to organize the shot list and decide how any outfit changes talents needed in order to capture the concept the client required.

Wardrobe Stylist in Los Angeles | IKARIA Resort Wear Behind the Scenes

As a wardrobe stylist in Los Angeles, I got hired by Tiger House Films production company to work on an international resort wear photo + video campaign. We worked on this shoot for 1 day in Palm Springs, California. I love to work with fashion brands that have high-end taste in their work and ad materials.

We worked with the beautiful Brazilian model Barbara Fialho, who is best known for being associated with Victoria’s Secret for many years. She is a Brazilian fashion model. She was born in the city of Montes Claros, Minas Gerais and started her modeling career at the age of 15. Barbara has graced renowned fashion weeks. She has worked with some of the most prestigious designers, photographers and publications in fashion.

The owner of Ikaria Resort Wear had a clear vision of what she wanted to express with this collection so I had to follow the guidelines and as a wardrobe stylist in Los Angeles, I had to make sure that we capture every single piece of dresses in this spring-summer collection. Since we were shooting in conjunction with photo and video we kept our schedule very tight to capture everything. This collection was inspired by the old Hollywood glamour with a Cuban flair that can be felt throughout the ethereal luxe 100% Silk 20-piece collection, designed to effortlessly transition from beach to dinner to the red carpet.

I had a great time working with Ikaria Resort Wear and Tiger House Films team as a wardrobe stylist and hope to create a lasting business relationship with them for the future.
