The Black Nouveau Photo Shoot: “Dandy Meets Dirty”

This is the first ever photo shoot done for The Black Nouveau. The images are for the header photo of the site and will be applied as soon I learn how to edit my CSS and add the photo! lol. The shots are courtesy of my good friend Leia Jospe, she did a fantastic job and I thank her so much. I wanted the theme of the shoot to be “Dandy meets Dirty”, I thought the location of the Jay Maisel building in Soho, with its graphic graffiti art was the perfect spot. I took the idea from the Graffi-Couture spread out of the October 2009 issue of Vogue Paris. With Raquel Zimmerman posing in stunning couture designs while in front of this beautiful graffiti mural. The shoot came out better than I could have expected and I sincerly thank Leia for her hard work! Here are some of my favorite shots from the shoot…
