hello glamour!

I am so excited to have been given the chance to do another shoot with Project Runway garments! This time I chose a dress by Casanova who designed this garment during All Stars. On the show, the garment came with a gold belt which I decided to take away during the shoot to add more emphasis on the beautiful embroidery on this dress as well as to create more a subtle and feminine look, totally opposite of my other photoshoot. My model for this dress, is my very own classmate, Devi. Devi naturally has beautiful eyes and skintone that I felt would bring out the tones of this garment, and so it did! I kept this look very feminine, classy, and wanted to do a typical glamour/head shot. My photographer for this was Lyn Aldana, who did a perfect job at capturing the beauty of this garment and my model.

Project Runway, Revamped!

Hi everyone! My name is Barbara Regala and I am currently majoring in Fashion Marketing and Management. My PR class had the opportunity to take clothes from previous Project Runway seasons, and give new life to the wardrobe we picked and styled. Our class then partnered with a photography class, and I was given the opportunity to partner with Nic Candito as my photographer for my shoot. The jacket I styled, is by Jerell Scott, who was featured on the 2^nd season of Project Runway, and created this jacket for Project Runway All Stars.

The transformation.

While I had researched the garment, the jacket was presented in a totally different way than what I had in mine. In the show, the jacket was paired with a below-the-knee skirt, and and a beehive up-do, very conservative. When I came across the jacket, I was taken away with the amount of detail the jacket had, and how extraordinary it was just by itself. Given the amount of popularity street-wear has become, I wanted a model who had a bad-ass attitude, someone who is greatly influence by art and culture, someone who wasn’t afraid to take risks, and someone who is confident and loves a great piece of art. My classmate, Jordan Overstreet, was the perfect person to illustrate that persona which I felt she would bring justice to the beauty of the garment. The styling of this jacket was pretty easy for me, it required no garment to be worn underneath the jacket, messy low-bun do, and dark red lip-stick, all to work best against the dark rim.

Project Runway Restyled

A Whole New Look

Two weeks ago my PR and Promotions class was given the task of restyling some of the clothes that were created on the popular fashion show: Project Runway. We teamed up with the Advanced Lighting photography class who took the amazing shots using rim lighting. 

The outfit I chose was created by designer Austin Scarlett who competed on the show in Season 1 and Project Runway All Stars Season 1. The skirt that my model and fellow classmate, Maddie Tabor wore was actually the bottom of one of Austin's finale dresses that seemed to be deconstructed when I found it! 

I styled the bottom of the gown to be worn as a high waisted full skirt with a lace bandeau top. Maddie's hair and make up was done by my fellow classmate, Kimberley Cassazza. We went for a simple braided up do, rosy lips and smoky eye.  My photographer Miki Hirai, did an amazing job shooting and editing the photos! I knew I wanted to add something more to the simple black backdrop so I bought some iridescent confetti and threw into the background, which gave the shoot a very snowy and magical effect.
