Editorial Design: Allison Williams on the cover

The latest issue of New Canaan, Darien, and Rowayton Magazine has just gone to the printer. I had the best time doing the shoots for this issue. The first shoot was with Allison Williams, who appears on the cover and an interview story inside. As a huge fan of GIRLS, I was delighted to meet Allison, who was completely charming and a dream to work with. I think the photos of her are stunning, I hope she is happy when she sees them. The team assembled for the shoot were totally cool and in sync, my kudos to photographer Jason McDonald, stylist Cristina Erlich who sent her assistants Annabelle Harron and Kristina Menendez, makeup artist Julie Harris, and hair stylist Owen Gould. The second shoot for the magazine was an all-day affair, involving 9 of the most interesting teenagers I have met to date. Each person was required to bring a prop that would tie-in to their specialty. Such lovely kids! Working with photographer William Taufic also made the day fun. Lastly, I met a trio of women equestrians, who all decided to return to the sport after a 20+ year absence. Their enthusiasm and cooperation made for a pleasant day, which was made even more delightful by working with photographer Melani Lust. I really cherish the times when it all comes together. See some layouts below from the issue...
