1862 Collections | Wardrobe stylist and HMUA

As a wardrobe stylist and HMUA I got a chance to work with 1862 Collections on their campaign shoots in Joshua Tree, California. I had 4 agency models to style and do their hair and makeup. 1862 Collections sells high quality, premium leather jackets. I styled the looks with casual jeans and T-shirts so the products were the campaign’s main focus. The hair and makeup looks were natural and camera ready, to match it with our desert, lifestyle vibe that we were going for. The photo and video campaign launches this autumn and I couldn’t be more excited how it turned out, stay tuned!

Sergio Garcia was our photographer, he is a photographer working from Los Angeles to New York city. His work includes commercial advertising, celebrity, fashion, editorial, and portrait work. He is represented by Exclusive Artists.

1862 Collections’s mother brand is Marai. The idea for MARAI was born after we learned that Switzerland burns tens of thousands of goat and sheepskins from the food industry every year. This has been taking place ever since the regional leather industry came to an end in the 1950s. Fortunately, some of these hides still find their way to G. Neuenschwander Söhne AG in Oberdiessbach, a trader and tanner of hides and furs with a tradition extending back over 150 years. Due to decreased demand, however, the fur trade has been slumbering for several decades: the warehouse is bursting at the seams. If no buyers are found for the hides in the near future, they too will have to be burned.
