For 3 days each month I meet up to film the next round of episodes for Marie Claire‘s Fashion Mission.

These are quick pics taken with my iPhone while out shooting/in between takes.  It’s a full day. Everyone usually meets in Manhattan around 7am and the day ends around 7pm – sometimes longer.   We shoot about 4 episodes at a time.

*ps. I’m semi-serious about that video mentioned above…

    that sequin duster jacket, you jsut gave me some inspiration i recently found one at La Petite Marmoset Vintage and I was having the hardest time styling it, it looks almost the same as the one you have on except it’s pretty sheer,

    Love that jacket you’ve got on. Love the behind the scenes. It’s crazy how much time video takes and how much it takes out of you.
