British GQ features Downton Abbey

Earlier this year, guest blogger Alex B. wrote how the Edwardian period television show Downton Abbey influenced the F/W 2012 men's collections. She emailed me as soon as she spotted this editorial from the December issue of British GQ featuring the male cast of the show wearing looks from those same collections they probably helped inspire. It's Beautifully done. Images found here.

White Heat

Sophisticated and timeless editorial from GQ UK. On a side note, Jo Levin who styled this is the only stylist I know and assisted without a smart phone of some kind and when I went to their offices in London she doesn't even have a computer at her desk. What would that be like? Photographer- Koto Bolofo, Model- Danny Beauchamp

Un editorial sofisticado y clasico por GQ UK. Y como comentario adicional, Jo Levin. la estilista de este editorial es la unica persona quien he asistido que usa un telefono simple solo para hacer llamadas y mandar sms cuando fui a las oficinas en Londres ella ni siquiera tiene un computadora en su escritorio. Como creen que eso seria? imagenes via steelmachines

Like I mentioned earlier challenges change from shoot to shoot. Spring and summer looks are great and are mainly composed of linen, silk and cotton. One has to have a sense of humor when the fabric of a particular garment doesn't like to cooperate. The steamer and iron became my allies and as you can see we kicked butt. The clothes looked crisp and ready for their close up. I joked with the models especially the one with the light blue metallic silk pants to not move between shoots. Here are Some of my pics from the the shoot.

Como he mencionado antes los desafíos cambian dependiendo en la sesion fotografica. La ropa de primavera y el verano son buenos y se componen principalmente de lino, la seda y el algodón. Uno tiene que tener sentido del humor, cuando la tela en una pieza de ropa no quiere cooperar. La maquina de vapor y la plancha se convirtieron en mis aliados y como pueden ver ganamos. La ropa se ve desarrugada y lista para fotografiarse. Yo bromie con los modelos que no podian moverse entre toma y toma, especialmente con el que tenia puesto los pantalones azul metálico de seda. Algunas de mis fotos de la session fotografica.

After looking at the pics I took and the final product I appreciate the time the photographer's assistant take to get the lighting just right. They make it look so easy.

Después de mirar las fotos que tomé y el producto final agradezco el tiempo que los asistentes del fotógrafo toman para obtener la iluminación adecuado. Ellos hacen que parezca tan fácil...
