Behind the Scene at the Closed Shoot

IMG_3758

Today, I would like to give you an exclusive view behind the scenes at the Closed F/W 2011 campaign shoot. It was a truly amazing experience and I am still overwhelmed by the fact that I will be one of their advertising faces for the winter season that will be launched worldwide in publications like French Vogue, Love Magazine among others and will be hanging in every Closed store around the globe. How cool is that?!

My “colleagues” for the camapign were all so lovely, interesting people with interesting jobs and it was a pleasure to meet them all.

Lina Scheynius, who shoot the campaign all film and with old cameras, is one of the most requested photographers in the fashion industry. She was born in Sweden and is based in London now. If you are interested, check out her homepage by clicking here.

Make-up was done by Berlin based Anna Neugebauer and hair by the famous Tomohiro Obashi who lives in Paris and did for example the gorgeous Louis Vuitton Cruise 2011 campaign. The stylist was sweet Emilie Johansson from Copenhagen.

So please enjoy my backstage report and all the fab Closed clothes that will be in stores this fall.

LoL, Sandra

Exciting News: The X – The Fittings

IMG_3558

Finally, I can tell you my exciting news why I am Berlin at the moment. I arrived yesterday for the shoot of the X’ campaign for Closed.

‘The X’ ,also associated with Closed’s innovative pocket design, is an ongoing campaign – first launched one year ago – that celebrates individualism and variety, creativity and location. Ten innovators in ten cities around the world comprise the talent pool for this debut campaign. Now you can understand my excitement, I am one of them.

Today, the fittings took place. Here you can get a sneak preview of what is coming for F/W 2011. The looks are ultracool, having a certain edge, perfect for everyday life. Stay tuned for more to be posted soon and in the meantime enjoy those photos.

LoL, Sandra
