Making of Luis Antonio’s “Rockoco” S/S 2014 Promo
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of working on the production for the promo shoot of my friend Luis Antonio’s S/S 2014 collection “Rockoco”.
The planning for the shoot started a some weeks before where we secured hair, make-up, location and talent.
For this shoot, Luis Antonio wanted to showcase looks from his upcoming collection just as a teaser. And what a teaser it is!
The day before the shoot, Luis Antonio asked me to help him paint the dress and shirt that the models would be wearing and I have to say it’s one of the most fun and creative things I’ve done in my professional live. It was SOOO MUCH FUN and it turned out STUNNING!
The morning of the shoot I picked up the gorgeous accessories provided by Luis Antonio’s collaborator for his runway show, Bellamoda Boutique and headed to his atelier where we got the looks and accessories packed up and headed to pick up the shoes at Galeria in Plaza Las Américas. Then we drove to the gorgeous landmark in VSJ, the Antiguo Casino de Puerto Rico, where the models, hair, makeup and photographer were getting ready.
Even though we had a few really insignificant setbacks – like we wanted big hair, but ended up with beautiful windswept locks– the shoot was a complete success and our models, Perla González and Kenneth Davila really gave us what we wanted. Of course, apart from their tbeautiful genes, they had the help of Emmanuel Agosto doing the makeup and Cristobal Berrios, from Cristobal Salón, doing the hair and being oulor photog for the day.
Here are some pictures from this awesome shoot and the final product. You can also see more pics in Luis Antonio’s Instagram and you HAVE to see this awesome video I uploaded to the Fashion Is Bananas’ Instagram
I’m dying to see what Luis Antonio’s “Rockoco” S/S 2014 will look like. I guess we’ll have to wait til November 5th!
