This photo is an unexpected continuation of a 'series' started here. Perhaps it was wishful thinking that I would never come across a fashion faux pas like this again. I just didn't expect it to happen at an Apple Store!

“Waiting” – Crew member stands-by on-set at Wallace Studios, Toronto

This past summer I had the opportunity to stop by Wallace Studios where my partner, Diana Carreiro, was doing hair & makeup for a motion project directed by Gabor Jurina for Transcontinental starring Russian ballerina Svetlana Lunkina.

You can see the results of the shoot here:

“After Da Club…Timmies!” – Decked-out club-goers get their double-double fix, Toronto

“Struttin'” – Man in a baby blue suit, Yonge & St. Clair, Toronto

“The Party is That-a-way!” – Party-goer’s pumps provide direction

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!!!

“The World’s Saddest Clothing Rack” – Saks Off Fifth, Niagara Falls, NY

“At Attention” – Shoes lined-up on stylist’s table at photo shoot, Toronto

“I CONVERSE*> Boston” – Neon sign at the Newbury Street Converse store, Boston

This is the first and currently ONLY Converse store in the world. Apparently Boston is where it all started for Converse.

Upstairs they have an in-house ‘maestro’ who will customize your chucks while you wait! Very cool.

I couldn’t resist and had to pickup two new pair.

“Follow the Hipster” – Lost hipsters around King East, Toronto

At first I wished I could’ve gotten closer before snapping a shot, but upon review I couldn’t be happier with what I managed to catch.

An unquestionable archetype of the hipster stereotype (plaid shirt, ironic throwback baseball cap, moustache) trailed by his hip-HOP-ster counterpart in the midst of a slacker Abbey Road Crosswalk strut.

I live for these moments.

 

“Sexy Condo Construction” – Skyscraper as woman’s torso, Mississauga

“Who Is That Masked Man?” – Photo assistant X in his trademark Lucha Libre mask

Remember two things:

1) On a fashion shoot this is not considered weird;

2) No one talks back to a man in a mask.

“Pick on Someone Your Own Size” – Model in 5″ heels vs stylists in flats

“Buckle-Up II” – Belts/Bangles as tri-colour pasta

“Buckle-Up” – Stylist’s boots

“Nerdy Rider”

This dude negated his entire coolness factor with this fashion choice.

“ROCK ON, tiger!” – Lost glove’s new home on a sewer grate, Toronto

This couldn’t have presented itself better if I’d staged it. Everything works: The cougarific tiger print glove that has come to rest in the rock ‘n’ roll horns gesture; the repeating of the glove pattern in the pattern of the storm sewer grate; and, finally the fact that the colour of the collected debris matches the glove’s caramel brown-yellow. This is the type of tableaux that makes me do double- takes when walking down the street.

Now if only I could meet and photograph the person who lost this glove in the first place.
