I had the most amazing opportunity last week to work intimately with Michelle DeCourcy for her Spring 2010 Collection, "La Vie". I was called to be the key Makeup Artist and Hair Stylist for the shoot! Talk about excited :D This shoot was to showcase her new line, and the images are now gracing her website - www.MichelleDecourcy.com.
When we met for the fitting for model, Jillian Rabe, I was, of course, a little nervous. But Michelle was so warm and down to earth, it was such a pleasure to work with her! She even told me that I reminded her so much of "Jennifer". (Aniston!) Ha! Well, she would know better than I :) Michelle and I hand-picked the half dozen pieces that were to be showcased by Jillian, and I fell in love with every piece I touched. Michelle truly knows how to create impeccably designed clothes that are chic, and stylish but also SO comfortable that you want to just wrap yourself up in them eveyday.
Michelle and I talked in detail about the look that she wanted to define her Spring 2010 collection. Beautiful, clean skin, wide and playful eyes, and a pop of fuschia colored lips. Hair that's touchable and beach-y! Not too polished, but still stylish. Sort of the grown up "rocker girl" she described. :) I was so pleased that Michelle loved the work I did on Jillian! She did mention that she's had horrible MUA's in LA, and it was so nice to have one that nailed it on the head the first time. :) Yay :)
