The greatest (fashion) show on earth
I ran off and joined the circus.
Ok, I didn't. But I did hang out with Ringling Bros. on the latest Good Life magazine fashion shoot. Elephants and zedonks and models. Oh my!
We (designers, photographers, editors, stylist, models) headed to Trenton last Thursday to meet with the circus. Once there, we had two hours to set up and then less than five hours between the two performances to get everything shot. A normal shoot (not including set-up time) can go for more than seven hours, but this had to be done quickly. In that small amount of time, we needed to get 10 intricate shots: Some shots called for performers, others included animals, all had beautiful clothing.
So without giving too much away, here's a behind-the-scenes sneak peak at the upcoming fall fashion spread.
Beth walkie talkies to the art director to see when the models are needed on the floor. On top of her head sit three hats that will be used in a later shot.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Our model, Nadia, gets prepped by stylists and hair and make-up upstairs in the skybox at Sovereign Bank Arena.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Models, Eileen and Nadia meet with Hercules (Joszef Pakucza) before the first shot of the day.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Model, Nadia, flips though the current issue of Good Life while chatting with the art director, Harris, before the elephants are brought to the main stage.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The three models, Eileen, Nadia and Alex, are introduced to the elephants under the supervision of their trainers.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Zelda, a zedonk, her trainer, Adam and model, Eileen, pose for the last shot of the day. A zedonk is half zebra, half donkey.
Heard at the circus: Gwen Stefani's "Rich Girl" done like musack
