CONCRETE RUNWAY

When the streets are your runway......

AKIRA Chicago

So here in Chicago, we have a small chain of stores called Akira. At Akira, you can find really unique, edgy, and runway grade pieces that really make a statement. They also frequently hold really great fashion shows. I even performed in one of them! Well, I used to work at Akira and now my cousin now works there and he’s starting a magazine/store look book for the store and he asked me to do the makeup for one of the accessories shoots. Check out the Akira Chronicle. It gives you sneak peeks at what will be found in the actual magazine and also supports someone really dear to me. If you wish to buy any of the things you see on the site, go to: http://www.shopakira.com/. You can even find clothes, denim, and shoes from other designers like Jeffrey Campbell, True Religion, and Jessica Simpson. You won’t be disappointed!

The photographer, Gino Baileau can be found at: http://themannequinhead.tumblr.com/

Accessorizing is definitely my favorite part of the day.  No outfit is complete without the perfect little accent.  Keep it simple of Pile it on, Our Models rocked out this fun Accessory shoot!
