If you have been reading my blog lately, you already know this post was coming! A few weeks ago, I introduced to you Diana Velez, one of Toronto’s hottest fashion designers. Diana and I met randomly at a function and have formed a really great friendship. To those of you who know us both, this should come to no surprise as we are both very passionate about what we do and there is no better partnership than that of a photographer and a fashion designer!  As Diana was getting ready to launch her new line, she commissioned me with the project of capturing her designs for her latest catalog.

Immediately, the hunt for the best models and make-up artist began. The project took three full weeks of planning leading to it’s culmination last weekend. We photographed four gorgeous models wearing incredible designs by Diana and embellished by two incredibly talented Make-up artists.  Moreover, we made the event public by converting her retail space into a full-working studio and opening the doors to the public. With these gorgeous models, let’s just say we had many heads turned and a nice crowd of spectators. I hope you enjoy the images below and leave me your comments!

Before you do anything else, head over to Diana‘s Retail Store, located at Sheppard Centre. Visit her website for the address. If you are looking for something truly unique to wear, this is definitely the place to go.
