Anyone who knows me knows how much I love straight on images.  So the straight jacketed look of a large neck piece is appealing to me.  It forces the model to look straight. The blue piece was cut from the original 6 ft length and clipped in the back.  I laid the piece down flat, […]

To build a commercial/agency book it’s great to include workout/spa setups with more commercial looking wardrobe.
