more picnic, more croquet

behind the scenes for the globe and mail picnic spread! this job was exciting for many reason. being credited in print for the first time... in a national newspaper no less! rad. and having a name like globe and mail to throw around meant we could pull some pretty great stuff from some crazy places... hermes, chanel, holt renfrew, the room (the bay's high-end boutique)... and because it was such a fast turn around, we were able to pull pretty much right off the floor. (usually a spread won't go out for a month or a few months, so you have to pick clothes from the next season... items that will be available when the story is printed.) we pulled a ton of stuff. a TON! also. shopping for kid's stuff was pretty fun.


just some stuff we picked up... no biggie.


our 'top three' ensembles presented to the editor. i was particularly into the blues/gingham set, but the head-to-toe-white-eyelet-for-her was pretty spectacular too.


i thought long and hard about running off with this amazing chanel ring. being a bandit on the open road in style... probably a bad idea. but... maybe... ...


a selection of our props and accessories.


putting everything in place.


i gave a little croquet breakdown for the model. she picked it up well.


for me to eat!


it had REAL GOLD on it. REAL GOLD! i should've sold it to 'cash for gold'... damn.
