Wow, great day with the guys and girls involved in today's shoot! The genius behind Shoot DHS agency (David) approached the shop with the idea of doing a Jean Shrimpton styled shoot around Bath. Of course, we jumped at the chance. Apart from the fact that I am probably The Shrimp's number one fan, I just love those striking 1960's looks that were ubiquitus back in the day. The two girls chosen (sisters) had the perfect doe eyed, elfin looks that fit with the bright colours and bold poses of that era.
David and the gang first shot Sarah and Alice in a pink mini dress with daisies appliqued on, and a white 1969 handmade Guipure lace dress, with wicked sleeves. Then we moved on to a more beachy, colourful couple of dresses that would match their orange lips (thank you, the lovely Sophie Bee) and bouffant hair do's (courtesy of the brilliant Phil at Artisan). The final looks, shot in a local cafe were straight out of Breakfast at Tiffany's-all long elegant evening gowns, glittery clutches and clip on jewels.
Everyone worked spectacularly well together including the very talented photographers Piers Cunliffe, Lee Martland and April Samantha. Can't wait to see the final shots!
In other news...the sale is still on and going great guns! Some ridiculous bargains to be had as we try to make space in the shop for more pieces that arrive on a daily basis. Had a couple of stunning would-be wedding gown just in too. In case you were looking for that something a little different for your big day. One of them (1950's), after we had had it cleaned, had what looked like a small pink mark. On closer inspection, we realised it was confetti, still trapped in the folds- a mere 60 years later....that just about made my day.
Til the next time you lovely people....xxx
