TWINSIES. When my best friend Andy was in town over the weekend, we joked about how we always buy the same things, often without each others knowledge. So, when we realized that we had almost identical outfits packed in our suitcases, we decided to have some fun with it. After obsessively googling pictures of creepy twin girls for an hour or so, the idea of this photo shoot was born, and I have to say, it was one of the most fun shoots I’ve ever done!

PARIS. As I mentioned in my previous post, I did a second trip to Paris from tuesday to wednesday to attend the Louis Vuitton S/S 13 show. Although we may look relaxed in these pictures I can tell you that was totally not the case. On our way to the show, me and Andy got stuck in traffic and ended up having to run the last 200 meters (in high heels) to the sound of the guards outside the show space counting down the minutes until the show started. We arrived at 09.59 and as soon as we found our seats, the lights went down and the show started. Talk about last minute!!

The show itself was a magical ode to the 60′s featuring cute mod girls in couples of two, cascading down four massive escalators onto the checkered runway. The models sported cute beehives, pea coats, maxi skirts, mini dresses, crop tops and short jackets, all covered in graphic squares in white and sunshine yellow -  a fresh contrast to last years romanticly themed runway show.

Huge thanks to LV for inviting me, and to my running partner Andy for not leaving me behind when my left shoe almost fell off during our sprint to the show. Never ever thought we would make it on time but somehow we did and I could not have picked a better team mate! ;)

featured in Teen Vogue!

TEEN VOGUE. I think almost every teen girl’s dream is to be featured in Teen Vogue, and even though I’m no teenager any more (when did I become so old?!) I’m still freakin’ excited about this article about Werelse in the May issue of Teen Vogue! We shot these pictures early in the morning in the empty streets of Barcelona, and even though it might not look like it, it was freezing cold! Nevertheless we had a blast shooting this story and I want to send a huge thank you to Teen Vogue, and especially Andrew Bevan, for featuring us!! :)
