“In this fashion story for Flaunt magazine, we wanted to evoke Jessye Norman and Leontyne Price, our favorites among the great opera divas. We collaborated with costume designer—and friend—Christian Joy, who styled the shoot. Joy has a brilliant way of mixing high and low artisanal details and do-it-yourself elements to mimic stage design and costumes. We loved how she wrapped the model—who wore a fantastic red gown by designer Thom Browne—in strips of red paper that she had cut out of our seamless backdrop. This was our first shoot using a Leica S; it did well.”
