Gold Rush in Marrakesh

Our lovely friend Yinka Ajakaiye snapped these photos for us a few months back and I've been meaning to post them for the longest time but it kept slipping off my radar.

Still incorporating metallic for our Heavy Metal shoot we created a more ethnic inspired story that relied heavily on gold and some draped vintage finds. The gold paired with neutrals and jewel tones is reminiscent of the colors you might find at the Souks (Markets) of Marrakesh!

Holiday Tinsel

We shot this a few weeks ago before we got caught up in a Holiday whirlwind with our good friend, the lovely, Yinka Ajakaiye.

It's part of our new photoshoot series, Heavy Metal. Basically, we noticed one of the biggest growing trends in recent history has been metallic heavy, but not over the top gilded, kept modern by simple/classic shapes and made edgy with graphic, geometric detailing. We scoured our closets to see what we could come up with for a Holiday look.

Given the cold weather it was our first attempt at an indoor "studio" shoot! Hope you enjoy!
