Vintage Fashion Styling: Zoe Cope by Conan Thai

When I was approached by Conan Thai to style a shoot I was really ecstatic. I had met him before through one of my friends, Sade Williams, and really loved his work.

I really love how the shoot turned out, it's vintage, it's lovely, it's emotional, fresh... I hope you love it as much as I do!

Vintage Inspired Fashion Editorial: Vogue Russia | Ranya Mordanova by KT Auleta

There were so many 1950s inspired fashion editorials shot last year (as well as many inspired by the 60s and 70s). I'm hoping 2011 is the year of the 20s, 30s, and 40s. Actually... maybe even earlier than that! I'd love to see trends from the 18th century come back, in small doses... (wearing 3 ft plumes a la Georgiana Spencer perhaps?)


I love the vintage 1950s inspired hats in this editorial and the full circle skirts. There are similar style vintage hats available at Adorevintage.

Wardrobe Styling: Raina Hein by Sade Williams

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure to style Raina Hein (mostly known for being runner up on America's Next Top Model Cycle 14) for a test shoot with the talented Sade Williams.


It was a fun easy shoot in L.A. in easy urban clothes. As a wardrobe stylist I'm always challenged to not dress everyone in pretty vintage dresses and add cardigans and little hats to every ensemble... ^_^ so I was quite pleased with the beautiful images that were captured without it getting too girlie as I can very easily lean to.


Raina is one of the sweetest girls I've met, she's just like how she appeared on the show (which I asked many questions about... "what's Tyra really like?") I actually got to style Raina twice, those photos I'll post up once I receive more of them! I hope you enjoyed the photos!

You can view more of my styling work on my online portfolio www.rodellee.com but it's still under construction...

P.S. - If you feel like being jealous, Raina is wearing ONLY mascara in these photos. What a lucky gal!!! She says she gets her luminous skin from years of living in wintry cold Minnesota and washing her face and scalding hot water!

Vintage Vogue Fashion Editorial 1968 by David Bailey

This vintage UK Vogue fashion editorial from May 1968 really speaks to me. I adore the photography and gorgeous New Zealand landscape so much! The clothes are quite fun too, especially those 1960s mini dresses!

Vintage Fashion Styling: Paisley Mccollom by Caitlin Bellah

A few weeks ago I was asked to style a vintage fashion editorial with the wonderful Caitlin Bellah and Paisley McCollom from FORD. We shot close to a family pumpkin patch and farmer's market which resulted in some troubles for us as we were "guerrilla style" shooting (when you don't get permit) and got kicked out. (Oops!) But luckily we were able to get most of our shots in!


I had such fun at the shoot! Paisley is currently one of the Forever21 models and told me a bit about what it was like working for them, she also shared how surreal it was to see giant posters of her face at Target when she had a campaign with them. I'm always a bit fascinated by stories like these, but mostly fascinated that when you meet these models in person, they're so normal and approachable, not at all like their glossy alter egos.


If you're wondering why the vintage clothes look familiar... it's because most of the wardrobe is from my Adorevintage!

Vintage Inspired Fashion Editorial: AnOther Magazine F/W 2010 | Lindsey Wixson by Venetia Scott

So in love with the 1970s vibe of this vintage inspired fashion editorial photographed by Venetia Scott for An0ther Magazine. The hair is very reminscent of Charlie's Angels, don't you think? Even the setting has that mid 70s vibe. The clothes are so easy and casual and definitely ensembles you can recreate through vintage clothing!
