We just shot a lovely film for The Ground, for which I did some Edward Gorey inspired looks, with a touch of old Paris. Two very enjoyable, 20-hours days, working with photographer and art director Seiji Fujimori.
I loved working with Sophie Holmes on this D Magazine story, shot by Taghi Naderzad at Pier 59 studios.
My very first job in NY just came out. Photographed by Jeff Koons, for the September issue of American Harper’s Bazaar.

I hadn’t been home in a few months, I had missed interacting with them, more than I care to admit.
Mdvanii is an entirely handmade doll, 10 inches tall, made in Paris in the late 80s. She’s cast in fragile resin, has hand-painted features and human hair wigs. Her outfits were sewn by the same seamstresses that worked at the haute couture houses of that time, using scraps of fabric left from haute creations. Her wigs were crafted by the same artisans that made the wigs for the Moulin Rouge showgirls. She was made in very limited editions, each doll is different and identified by a unique number and name. Very rare and quite expensive, she is the most exquisite and sensually stimulating doll I have ever touched.
[All the Mdvanii wigs featured in this film were made by me.]

What goes up, must come down.
I love taking care of old gals.
Damaged hair is the best.

Brilliant model Lena Lomkova [above]. She always knew how to approach each look, how to hide weak angles / werk good ones in a seemingly effortless way. Patient and disciplined, I thoroughly enjoyed making brutal love to her deliciously damaged, greenish blond hair.
